Job description

Role Overview

  • Reliable Close & Compliance : Deliver a timely, accurate month‑end (by working day 5) and year‑end close (no misstatements and within required deadlines) across all entities, including charity reporting
  • Customer Segmentation & Revenue Automation : Deploy a new customer segmentation methodology across our tech stack and implement a new revenue automation tool (e.g. SuiteBilling or Maxio) that recognizes revenue and gross margin based on a new revenue recognition policy
