[Hiring] Senior Accountant @Bluesight

Role Description

Bluesight is seeking a Senior Accountant who brings a blend of deep technical revenue recognition expertise and strong general ledger corporate accounting foundational skills. In this role, you will play a dual part:

• Owning the order-to-cash cycle and complex revenue recognition (ASC 606).
• Driving and executing broader monthly close functions across the general ledger.

Operating in a high-expectation, PE-backed environment, you will serve as a critical bridge between historical operational accounting, audit readiness, and internal cross-functional partners.

Key Responsibilities

• General Ledger & Month-End Close Operations:
  • Execute a highly efficient, accelerated monthly accounting close across both revenue and general corporate accounting areas.
  • Prepare and record journal entries, account reconciliations, and variance analyses for revenue as well as core balance sheet and income statement line items (e.g., accruals, prepaids, and capitalizable costs).
  • Collaborate across the finance team to identify opportunities to automate manual accounting tasks to compress the close cycle.
• Revenue Accounting & Order-to-Cash:
  • Own the revenue recognition function from end-to-end under ASC 606.
  • Review and document complex sales contracts for revenue recognition implications, partnering closely with the Corporate Controller and Sales Operations.
  • Manage rigorous billing reconciliation processes, bridging the gap between our CRM (Salesforce), billing systems, and NetSuite to prevent revenue leakage and ensure data integrity.
  • Drive monthly SaaS metric calculations (ARR/MRR) and ensure they tightly align with recognized revenue and billing forecasts.
  • Partner with Revenue Operations to build and maintain a forward-looking billings forecast tied to late-stage pipeline and contract terms.
• Technical Accounting & Audit Readiness:
  • Lead audit-readiness initiatives, preparing robust audit schedules and workpapers for external auditors.
  • Serve as a technical point of contact for the external audit team during the annual audit and quarterly reviews.
  • Review existing processes for audit readiness and simplify revenue recognition policies.
  • Conduct standalone selling price (SSP) analyses and evaluate prior-period accounting treatments in accordance with US GAAP.
  • Research and draft technical accounting memoranda on complex transaction structures or new accounting pronouncements as needed.
• Process Improvement & Systems:
  • Design, document, and implement accounting workflows to strengthen key internal controls and mitigate reporting risks.
  • Assist in evaluating financial reporting functions and policies (with an eye toward SEC/IPO readiness standards) in cooperation with leadership.
  • Leverage and experiment with emerging AI tools and automation to drive efficiency across the accounting ecosystem.
  • Support M&A activity including due diligence requests, quality of earnings analyses, and post-close accounting integration.

Qualifications

• 3-5+ years progressive accounting experience.
• Public accounting (Big 4 or large regional firm) experience preferred.
• Experience working within a SaaS or technology business model is required; experience at a PE-backed company is a plus.
• Experience with complex multi-product contract structures, channel partner agreements, or healthcare customer arrangements is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; Active CPA strongly preferred.
• Multi-element revenue arrangement expertise required.
• Deep US GAAP knowledge, ASC 606 mastery, SEC reporting/IPO-readiness standards.
• Advanced Excel (Pivot tables, XLOOKUP) and NetSuite experience.
• Experience with Salesforce and reporting tools.
• Interest and ability to leverage AI tools for efficiency and effectiveness.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Time off when you need it – unlimited vacation days!
• Generous insurance coverage.
• 401k program with a company match.
• Fun, collaborative culture!
