Senior Revenue Accountant
WFA Digital Insight
Abnormalsecurity’s senior revenue accountant sits at the intersection of finance and product, taking charge of the monthly revenue close for a fast‑moving SaaS business. The position reports to the head of accounting and works alongside deal‑desk, FP&A, and legal teams, which means the accountant sees the full lifecycle of a contract—from quotation to cash. What makes the role distinct is its explicit focus on building audit‑ready workpapers and driving automation, including AI‑enabled workflows, rather than simply posting journal entries. Candidates who can blend deep GAAP knowledge with advanced Excel modeling and a practical grasp of Salesforce data structures will thrive, especially when they can identify process gaps and propose standardised solutions.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced accountant to gain meaningful ownership and exposure to technical revenue accounting in a high-growth SaaS environment, while partnering closely with experienced revenue and technical accounting professionals. The ideal candidate operates independently, exercises strong judgment, and is motivated to strengthen how revenue accounting operates by standardizing processes, enhancing controls, and leveraging automation and AI-enabled workflows to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
What You Will Do
- Own the preparation and review of monthly revenue-related reconciliations, rollforwards, and supporting schedules
- Prepare and review journal entries and flux analyses for revenue, deferred revenue, accounts receivable, commissions, and other related accounts
- Maintain complete, audit-ready documentation for recurring close activities, including organized workpapers, reconciliations, and supporting evidence
- Lead assigned revenue close deliverables, ensuring work is completed accurately, timely, and in accordance with established policies and controls
- Investigate and resolve accounting issues, unusual items, and reconciling differences in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders
- Support external audits by preparing support, coordinating requests, responding to inquiries, and documenting accounting positions
- Partner with Deal Desk, FP&A, Legal, and other teams to resolve operational issues and improve upstream process quality
- Identify and drive opportunities to streamline close activities through standardization, automation, and AI-enabled workflows
Must Haves
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- 4+ years of progressive accounting, audit, or related finance experience
- Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP, with experience applying revenue recognition guidance and related accounting principles
- Demonstrated experience owning or leading recurring close activities, reconciliations, and financial analyses in a fast-paced environment
- Strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail, and the ability to identify issues, evaluate root causes, and implement solutions with limited oversight
- Advanced Excel skills, including reconciliations, lookups, and analysis of large datasets
Nice to Have
- Experience applying ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 in a SaaS revenue accounting environment
- Experience at a Big Four public accounting firm, a high-growth pre-IPO company, or a publicly traded technology company
- Experience with ERP, billing, and close-management systems such as NetSuite, Salesforce, Maxio, or FloQast

How to Stand Out
- Highlight specific examples where you built audit‑ready workpapers or automated a close process; concrete results resonate with interviewers.
- Prepare a short case study showing how you used Salesforce data to reconcile revenue discrepancies.
- Brush up on ASC 606 nuances, especially contract modifications and performance obligations, as they often surface in technical interviews.
- If you have a CPA in progress, mention your timeline and how the credential will enhance your contributions.
- When discussing compensation, reference the disclosed salary range and be ready to articulate the value you bring relative to that band.
- Watch for vague promises about “flexibility” without clear remote‑work policies; ask about equipment stipends and time‑zone expectations during the interview.
