The Role
At Sovos, we're building the foundation for sustainable growth through rigorous, compliant revenue accounting. As a Senior Revenue Accountant, you'll ensure accurate global revenue recognition under ASC 606 while developing scalable processes and supporting the integration of newly acquired entities.

More specifically, you will:
- Perform global revenue recognition accounting in compliance with ASC 606, ensuring accurate and timely recording of revenue across all product lines and geographies.
- Prepare and review monthly revenue journal entries, deferred revenue schedules, and related account reconciliations to support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes.
- Maintain and enhance revenue accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls to ensure consistency, compliance, and scalability across the organization.
- Identify opportunities to streamline and automate revenue accounting processes, working cross-functionally with IT, FP&A, and operational teams to implement improvements and leverage AI tools for review and analysis.
- Assist in post-acquisition integration of revenue accounting to ensure smooth transitions and consistent application of revenue recognition policies across newly acquired entities.
- Serve as a subject matter expert on ASC 606 matters, providing guidance and training to finance team members and cross-functional stakeholders as needed.
What We're Looking For
- Strong knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition principles and their practical application in a SaaS or software environment.
- At least 6 to 8 years of progressive accounting experience, with a minimum of 3 years focused on revenue recognition.
- CPA certification required or actively pursuing, or equivalent experience.
- Experience with ERP systems; NetSuite strongly preferred, and comfort with AI-assisted workflows and emerging financial technologies.
- Excellent organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, paired with strong communication and collaboration abilities.
- High attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy, with a continuous improvement mindset.
- Fluency in Spanish strongly preferred.
- Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check and drug test upon hire.
