Senior Commissions Accountant

Salt Lake City, UT Hybrid (Mon/Wed on site, plus close weeks) Full-time

Ready to move out of public accounting and into a role you own?

A profitable, high-growth SaaS company is hiring a Senior Commissions Accountant to help rebuild and own its commissions accounting function. Sales is the engine of this business and commissions accounting sits at the center of it — so this is a high-visibility seat with a clear runway into FP&A or accounting leadership.

We care most about a strong public accounting foundation. If you have that, we'll teach you the commission's specifics.

Coming straight from a Big 4, national, or regional firm? Auditors at the associate, staff, and senior level are all encouraged to apply — you don't need prior commissions experience.

• Trade a rotation of clients and busy-season crunch for deep ownership of one company's most visible functions.
• Put the ASC 606 and technical accounting you already know to work, and learn ASC 340-40 commissions accounting with real mentorship.
• High visibility from day one: partner directly with senior FP&A and help take the function to IPO-ready standards — the kind of experience that accelerates a career.
• A clear path into FP&A, GL/corporate accounting, or a controllership track, on a team that promotes from within.
• A supportive, low-ego culture with genuine work-life balance — no timesheets, no 70-hour Aprils.

• Own commissions accrual and the capitalization and roll-off of commissions under ASC 340-40, with ramp-up support as you learn the function
• Handle external and partner commissions end to end — accrue, capitalize, and roll off commissions paid to partners, and manage timely partner reporting and payment through the procure-to-pay process
• Report accurately to FP&A and clearly explain what's happening inside the commission plans and how they're accounted for
• Help rebuild the ASC 340-40 process on the foundation already in progress, and rebuild the SOX compliance framework toward IPO-ready standards
• Manage high-volume amortization in Net Suite ARM — roughly 1,500–3,000 schedules imported and rolled off monthly
• Work across 26 compensation plans covering 550+ commissionable employees (growing 15%) and about 2,800 contracts a month
• Flex into ASC 606 subscription accounting and revenue recognition during lighter close periods
• Mentor two junior accountants — the team runs like an audit group, with a few staff and several seniors

• Public accounting experience — audit or assurance at a Big 4, national, or regional firm. Associate, staff, or senior level are all welcome; this is the background that matters most to us.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• A solid U.S. GAAP foundation and comfort reading and applying technical accounting guidance
• Strong Excel skills, sharp analytical ability, close attention to detail, and clear communication

• Commissions or revenue accounting experience (ASC 340-40 or ASC 606) — helpful, not required
• Hands-on experience with Net Suite or Net Suite ARM, Performio, or similar commission tools
• Any experience improving, building, or rebuilding a process or a controls framework
• CPA, or working toward it — a plus, not required

Don't have commission experience? That's exactly fine. We're hiring for the audit and technical-accounting foundation and will train you on the commission specifics.

• Direct, senior-level exposure to FP&A — a natural path into FP&A if that's a direction you want
• Hands-on ASC 606 and revenue recognition work that builds toward accounting leadership
• Order-to-cash and procure-to-pay experience that opens doors to GL/corporate accounting and controllership tracks
• A rare "rebuild it and own it" opportunity — reshape the commissions function and establish yourself quickly

• Hybrid in Salt Lake City — two days on site (Monday/Wednesday), plus close week
• A profitable, high-margin SaaS business operating at IPO-ready standards
• A supportive, low-ego culture that values ownership, kindness, thoughtfulness, and work-life balance
• Comprehensive benefits, wellness and mental health support, and learning and development support including tuition reimbursement — helpful if you're working toward your CPA

We hire good people and invest in them. A diverse team makes our work better, and we welcome applicants from every background.
