Revenue Accounting Manager, Ads

About the Role

The Revenue Accounting Manager will be a key finance partner to various stakeholders, providing expert guidance on revenue recognition, close, controls, reporting, reconciliations, and risk assessment. You will be expected to operate independently in a rapidly evolving environment, designing and executing scalable processes, and applying AI automation thoughtfully to support the growth of the company's ads revenue.

What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end accounting and controllership for ads revenue, including revenue recognition, contra-revenue, rev-share, incentives, credits, rebates, and related close activities under ASC 606.
• Design and execute scalable month-end and quarter-end close processes for ads, ensuring accurate, complete, and timely reporting supported by reconciliations, flux analysis, and reviewer-ready evidence.
• Design accounting and control frameworks for global ads expansion, including new currencies, billing entities, tax/invoice localization, FX, AR, and GL mapping.
• Translate complex commercial, product, and contractual terms into operational accounting workflows with clear policy alignment and scalable execution.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Finance Engineering, Data, and Billing teams to define, validate, and audit ads measurement logic such as impressions, clicks, billable events, usage, rev-share, and invoice data.
• Identify material risks, separate systemic issues from immaterial noise, and communicate substantiated recommendations to Finance and business leaders.
• Use AI, data tooling, and automation to improve close speed, exception management, reconciliation quality, and control execution while preserving appropriate governance.
• Support system implementations and enhancements across Oracle Fusion, data warehouses, billing integrations, ads platforms, and related finance tooling.
• Lead audit support, documentation, walkthroughs, issue resolution, and remediation for ads revenue accounting.

What We Are Looking For

• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ads revenue accounting or controllership in a public company or high-growth late-stage private company.
• CPA or equivalent expertise, with strong command of ASC 606 and practical judgment on variable consideration, principal-agent, incentives, credits, and revenue-share arrangements.
• Non-negotiable advertising business expertise: direct experience with ads, adtech, retail media, marketplace monetization, or a closely analogous high-volume usage-based revenue model.
• Preference for candidates with direct experience with advertiser/customer incentive arrangements, multi-currency billing, global invoicing/localization, or multi-entity revenue accounting.
• Proven ability to build 0-to-1 finance processes, then harden them into scalable close procedures, reconciliations, controls, and audit-ready evidence.
• Strong data fluency, including comfort validating high-volume calculations, tracing source-system data, and leveraging data analytics tools.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI automation and data tooling, such as machine learning, natural language processing, or robotic process automation.
• Knowledge of cloud-based accounting and financial systems, such as Oracle Fusion or SAP.
• Familiarity with data warehouses and business intelligence tools, such as Tableau or Power BI.
• Certification in a related field, such as Six Sigma or Agile methodologies.

• Competitive salary and bonus structure.
• Comprehensive health insurance, including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Flexible PTO policy and paid holidays.
• Remote work stipend and home office setup support.
• Access to cutting-edge technology and tools, including AI and data analytics software.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development, including training and education programs.

• Be prepared to provide specific examples of your experience with high-volume usage-based revenue models and your ability to build and maintain scalable accounting processes.
• Highlight your expertise in data analytics and your ability to leverage data tooling and AI automation to support financial decision-making.
• Showcase your collaboration and communication skills, as this role will require working closely with cross-functional teams to drive business outcomes.
• Consider creating a portfolio or case study that demonstrates your experience with ads revenue accounting and your ability to drive process improvements and efficiencies.
