Accounting, Revenue Internal Controls

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

You will report to the Revenue Controller and partner closely with Accounting, Systems, and Internal Audit stakeholders as we build toward SOX 404 compliance. You will be expected to understand the systems and processes impacting revenue and own/influence the design and implementation of sufficient internal controls, including obtaining relevant SOC reports from service-providers, as well as be the face of the revenue team with external auditors.

What it asks for · 9

• Experience supporting SOX 404 readiness at a pre-IPO company, or operating within a public company reporting environment
• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Deep, hands-on SOX experience over revenue and order-to-cash processes — you have designed controls, not just described them, and you understand control objectives, IPE, and sufficiency of audit evidence.
• Experience as the business-side owner or lead partner on revenue system implementations, migrations, or major configuration changes, including requirements definition, UAT, and reconciliation of data across the revenue stack.
• Working knowledge of ASC 606 and the practical mechanics of how contracts, usage, and billing translate into recognized revenue.
• Experience in consumption and subscription revenue models, and systems processing large transaction volumes and large datasets
• A track record of influencing across stakeholders without direct authority.
• Precision communication — you can write a process narrative for an auditor, a steering committee update for leadership, and a root-cause summary for an operating team.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, with the judgment to distinguish what needs to be controlled now from what can wait.

Also a plus

• 15+ years of progressive experience in internal controls, revenue operations, revenue accounting, and finance transformation.
• CPA, CIA, or comparable certification
• Big 4 audit, risk advisory, or finance transformation background
• Hands-on experience with mainstream ERPs and revenue engines — and with metering, billing, tax, and payments platforms
• Familiarity with third-party marketplace billing dynamics (AWS, GCP, Azure) and channel or reseller arrangements
• Experience with SOX or GRC tooling
• SQL and comfort working directly with revenue data to validate what the systems are telling you
• Lean, Six Sigma, or other formal process improvement training

What the job covers

• Serve as the accountable first-line control owner for order-to-cash and revenue business process controls, including control design, documentation, execution, and related evidence
• Maintain the order-to-cash process narratives, SOPs, and process maps as the institutional standard, and keep them accurate through system and business changes
• Partner with functional leads across Billing, AR & Collections, Deal Desk, and Revenue Accounting to keep process definitions current and consistently executed
• Design and influence the implementation of controls over usage capture and rating, contract-to-billing accuracy, invoice completeness, cash application, credit and adjustment approvals
• Own the identification and control treatment of key reports and Information Produced by the Entity (IPE) within the revenue cycle, including completeness and accuracy validation for reports used in controls and in the close
• Partner with Revenue Technology and Internal Audit on IT-dependent and automated controls in the revenue stack - including interface and reconciliation controls, configuration change governance. Embed control requirements into new system implementations and process changes at design time
• Partner with third-party service providers to understand their processes, identify relevant risks, and secure commitment for relevant SOC 1 reports
• Work with the Internal Audit on scoping, walkthroughs, testing, and deficiency evaluation for revenue processes; own remediation design and drive it to closure
• Get involved early with Product, Sales, Partnerships, and Legal on new offerings, pricing constructs, and go-to-market motions to assess order-to-cash and control implications before launch
• Diagnose recurring breakdowns, trace them to root cause, and drive fixes to closure with the accountable owner
• Train and enable process owners and control performers on control execution, evidence retention, and what audit-ready means
• Support external auditors as the process owner for order-to-cash walkthroughs and testing

Degree language

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
