[Hiring] Revenue Accounting Manager @LiveKit

Role Description

As a Revenue Accounting Manager at LiveKit, you will be the technical authority on revenue, owning the entire Order to Cash cycle. Your responsibilities will include:

• Interfacing with the sales team and reviewing contracts.
• Assessing terms in accordance with ASC 606.
• Implementing workpapers and schedules.
• Documenting conclusions and assisting with billing and collection efforts.

If building processes from square one and taking ownership of complex revenue arrangements excites you, this is the role for you.

You'll thrive if you:

• Are obsessed with making the best product for customers.
• Are known as the go-to person for tackling tough problems.
• Work hard and can build and ship fast.
• Focus on polish, detail, and quality.
• Are a fast learner, frequently picking up new tips, tricks, and skills.

The best way to impress us is with thoughtful ways you'd implement LiveKit, and potentially tinkering with it 😊.

Qualifications

• Licensed CPA with a Big 4 or comparable technical accounting foundation.
• Real industry experience in a high-growth startup environment.
• Demonstrable ASC 606 experience with usage-based or consumption revenue.
• Ability to write technical memos that a reviewer can follow without a meeting.
• Experience assessing GAAP guidance and implementing it in real-world situations.
• Hands-on experience owning a monthly revenue close.
• Experience closing revenue through at least one external audit.
• Comfortable being the technical authority without a bench behind you.

Requirements

• Author revenue accounting policy set, including principal versus agent on brokered inference, breakage on expiring credits, performance obligation identification and allocation, minimum commitment versus overage, and contract modifications.
• Own the monthly revenue close: recognition, deferred revenue rollforward, contract asset and liability balances, and flux analysis.
• Own the revenue portion of our external audit, from the PBC list through the technical positions.
• Replace manual revenue entries with an automated billing-to-revenue reconciliation and a documented exception process.
• Govern order to cash: billing accuracy, dispute resolution, and an AR and collections process with real DSO and aging targets.
• Own commission capitalization and amortization under ASC 340-40.
• Review non-standard deal structures before they're signed.

Nice to Have

• Billing system implementation or migration experience (Metronome, Stripe, Zuora).
• Pre-IPO or first-audit experience.
• Enough SQL to validate a recognition schedule against raw usage data yourself.

Benefits

• Opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world.
• Contribute to open source alongside world-class engineers.
• Competitive salary and equity package.
• Health, dental, and vision benefits.
• Flexible vacation policy.
