Senior Revenue Accountant

About the role

Over the past two years we have automated much of our revenue cycle on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, including Subscription Billing. We are now looking for a senior revenue accountant to run that process, make it audit-ready to listed-company standards, and finish the automation that remains.

Our revenue is varied and high-volume: consumer subscriptions sold online and through app stores, multi-year business contracts, technology licensing and revenue-share partnerships, and professional services sold directly and through channel partners. You will own how this revenue is recognised, reconciled and controlled.

What you will do

Run the revenue close

• Own the monthly revenue close across entities: deferral schedules, recognition, short- and long-term reclassification and month-end cut-off.
• Prepare and post IFRS 15 adjustments, including contract liabilities, contract assets and capitalised costs of obtaining contracts.
• Reconcile revenue and deferred revenue between the ERP sub-ledger, the general ledger, the data warehouse and the consolidation system, and resolve differences.
• Prepare revenue disclosures and support quarterly reviews and the annual audit.

Make it audit-ready

• Own the revenue controls: design, operation, evidence and remediation of any deficiencies, working with the SOX and internal control teams.
• Make sure system reports used as audit evidence are complete and accurate, and that automated controls work as designed.

Finish the automation

• Act as the business owner of revenue in Dynamics 365: write requirements, run user acceptance testing, sign off changes and prioritise the revenue backlog with the ERP team.
• Move remaining spreadsheet-based IFRS 15 calculations into system-supported, controlled processes.
• Diagnose revenue and deferral defects and drive them to resolution with functional consultants and developers.

Advise the business

• Review non-standard contracts with Sales and Legal, determine the accounting treatment and document it in position papers.
• Provide deferred revenue and remaining performance obligation inputs to FP&A for forecasting.
• Support FP&A team in forecasting Deferred Costs.
• Work with FP&A team to perform revenue analysis.
• Train colleagues in Finance, Sales and Operations on revenue policy and how it applies to their work.

What you need

• At least 5 years in revenue accounting in multinational company, or in Big 4 audit or advisory with a substantial IFRS 15 focus, including at least 2 years hands-on in revenue.
• Applied IFRS 15 judgment: performance obligations, principal versus agent, licensing including sales-based royalties, variable consideration and contract costs.
• Experience in a SOX or comparable internal control environment as a control owner or performer, including evidencing and remediation.
• A key-user role in at least one ERP or revenue system implementation or major automation, such as Dynamics 365, SAP RAR, NetSuite ARM or Zuora.
• Strong data skills: reconciling large datasets across systems, and advanced Excel.
• Fluent English, written and spoken.

Nice to have

• Dynamics 365 F&O, especially Subscription Billing and revenue deferrals.
• SQL or Power BI.
• ACCA, CIMA or ACA qualification, completed or in progress.
• OneStream or another EPM tool.
• Experience in SaaS, subscription or software licensing businesses.
• Jira and Confluence.
