  • Investigate variances, research discrepancies, and resolve issues with appropriate stakeholders.
  • Use Salesforce to review contract opportunities, customers, and revenue-related information.
  • Apply US GAAP and Seeq accounting policies consistently, escalating unusual or complex transactions when appropriate.
  • Support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities and help maintain an efficient close calendar.
  • Prepare clear, audit-ready work papers and respond to internal and external audit requests.
  • Partner with Revenue Operations to evaluate transaction data and ensure accounting implications are understood and addressed.
  • Coordinate with Accounts Payable/Receivable, HR, and other cross-functional teams to obtain complete and accurate information.
  • Contribute to special projects and other accounting initiatives as needed.
Qualifications & Requirements
  • Experience with Sage Intacct and Sage Intacct Contract's module strongly preferred.
  • 3+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience with revenue accounting, commissions, and month-end close.
  • Working knowledge of US GAAP and revenue recognition principles, preferably ASC 606.
  • Experience preparing journal entries, reconciliations, account analyses, and audit support schedules.
  • Experience reviewing SaaS contracts, order forms, amendments, service periods, or similar commercial documentation.
  • Experience working with Salesforce or another CRM to support accounting or revenue processes preferred.
  • Excel spreadsheet skills, including the ability to analyze large data sets and build reliable supporting schedules.
  • High attention to detail and a disciplined approach to documentation and control execution.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain accounting topics to non-accounting partners.
  • Ability to work independently, manage competing deadlines, and collaborate effectively in a remote environment.
What Success Looks Like
  • Revenue and commission accounting is accurate, well-supported, and completed on schedule.
  • Journal entries, reconciliations, and account analyses are complete, clear, and review-ready.
  • Variances and discrepancies are identified early, investigated thoroughly, and resolved efficiently.
  • Audit requests are answered with organized, reliable documentation.
  • Cross-functional partners understand the accounting impact of contracts, transactions, and commission activity.
