• Serve as a key leader and subject matter expert for the Suitebilling implementation of the Order‑to‑Cash (O2C) cycle, specifically focusing on the impact to revenue.
• Strategically lead efforts to shorten the close timeline by optimizing and rearranging tasks, such as directing the posting of recurring waterfall journal entries before the close.
• Execute the SaaS revenue recognition accounting model within the respective systems and tools, including executing the process of our month‑end accounting close for SaaS, usage revenue, and Professional Services revenue, as well as the necessary entries for the allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debts.
