Senior Manager of Revenue Accounting

  • Location: South Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • Remote: Remote
  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #52180

I’m kicking off a Senior Manager of Revenue Accounting search reporting to one of my favorite humans.

And let me be clear – I am not exaggerating. He really is one of my favorites!

He is one of the smartest people I know. Steady. The kind of leader who keeps everyone grounded. People who work with him love working with him. People who used to work with him miss working with him. I genuinely don’t think you could find a better boss.

This is a newly created, high-visibility role in a publicly traded environment with real revenue complexity. Multiple streams. Royalties. Non-standard contracts. They need a true ASC 606 expert who wants to own it, build it, and become the go-to for all things revenue.

There is real runway here. As the organization continues to grow, so will the opportunity for movement.

CPA required. Strong public accounting backgrounds welcome. This is a fantastic pivot opportunity for someone ready to step out of public and into ownership!

If you love 606 and want to work for an exceptional leader, let’s talk!
