Role Overview
This role sits at the intersection of technical accounting, systems architecture and operating‑model transformation. The Revenue Accounting Manager is a senior controllership role with accountability for the Lead‑to‑Cash (L2C) lifecycle; revenue recognition, margin and cash outcomes.
The role goes beyond traditional revenue accounting ownership. It is accountable for designing and scaling a modern, system‑enabled revenue and cash process, underpinned by strong controls, automation and increasing use of AI, while fundamentally transforming team capability and ways of working.
This position will suit candidates from Big 4 audit or accounting advisory, or Tier‑1 SaaS environments, who are motivated by building future‑state finance models, not maintaining legacy processes.
Core Accountabilities:
Design Authority for Revenue & Lead‑to‑Cash
Act as finance design authority for revenue accounting and Lead‑to‑Cash, ensuring accounting outcomes are intentionally designed rather than remediated downstream
Translate complex commercial models into codified, system‑enforced accounting logic aligned with FRS / IFRS 15
Ensure revenue, billing and cash flows are fully reconcilable and explainable end‑to‑end, supporting audit reliance and management decision‑making
End‑to‑End Lead‑to‑Cash Ownership
Own the finance view of the Lead‑to‑Cash process across:
Billing and invoicing logic
Revenue recognition
Deferred balances, AR and cash conversion
Partner cross‑functionally with Sales Ops, Deal Desk, Legal, Billing, Credit Control, FP&A and Systems to eliminate leakage, rework and manual intervention
Ensure that revenue, margin and cash outcomes are aligned by design, not reconciled by exception
Automation, AI & Scalable Architecture
Lead the evolution toward an exception‑based, low‑touch operating model, shifting the team from transaction processing to analytical and judgement‑based activities
Sponsor and implement:
Rules‑based automation
Automated reconciliations and variance analytics
Reduce spreadsheet dependency in favour of robust system architecture with clear data governance and audit trails
Act as primary finance partner to Systems and Data teams on revenue and cash architecture
Month‑End Close & Predictability
Own revenue, CoS and L2C close outcomes with a focus on:
Predictability
Early issue identification
Minimal post‑close adjustment
Design close processes that support front‑loaded review and reliance, consistent with audit expectations
Ensure close outputs are insight‑driven and forward‑looking, not reconciliation‑led
Controls, Audit & Governance
Embed preventative, system‑based controls across revenue, billing and cash
Act as primary audit lead for revenue and Lead‑to‑Cash, articulating how:
Automation increases control strength
System reliance reduces substantive testing
Lead preparation of accounting position papers, audit responses and technical documentation
Ensure policies and procedures reflect current‑state systems and target‑state intent, not legacy workarounds
Team Transformation & Capability Uplift
Lead a step‑change transformation of the revenue accounting team, evolving:
Skills (systems, data, commercial understanding)
Mindset (ownership, design thinking, continuous improvement)
Operating model (review and exceptions vs processing)
Build a team capable of:
Owning end‑to‑end processes
Partnering credibly with Commercial and Technology
Supporting scale, acquisition and complexity
Candidate Profile
Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CPA), typically 5+ PQE
Background in:
Big 4 audit or accounting advisory (FRS / IFRS 15 exposure essential), and/or
SaaS / recurring revenue controllership or transformation roles
Strong understanding of how commercial models translate into revenue and cash
Demonstrated experience in:
Finance transformation
Process re‑engineering
Systems‑enabled control design
Comfortable operating as a change leader and design authority, not just a reviewer
Able to communicate credibly with auditors, senior finance leadership and non‑finance stakeholders
