  • Cross-Functional Deal Advisory: Serve as a technical accounting partner to Deal Desk, Sales and Legal, collaborating regularly during active deal negotiations to provide clear accounting guidance on deal structuring and the implications of non-standard commercial terms such as custom SLAs, acceptance provisions, and termination rights.
  • Contract Processing: Process subscription contracts, including contract modifications, ensuring adherence to the revenue guidance and internal bookings policy.
  • Standalone Selling Price (SSP) Analysis: Perform annual Standalone Selling Price (SSP) analyses across software subscription tiers, professional services, and usage components, maintaining documented transaction price allocation methodologies.

  • SOX Controls & Financial Governance: Design, maintain, and execute internal controls (SOX) over the OTC process, including contract review, multi-element revenue allocations, and close reconciliations.
  • Hybrid & Consumption Accounting Evaluation: Evaluate technical accounting treatment for evolving commercial models, such as minimum commitments, usage-based fees, and prepaid drawdowns, establishing appropriate recognition timing and variable consideration estimates.

  • Education & Credentials: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; active Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license is preferred; Big 4 experience and national public accounting experience strongly preferred.
