GAQ327R240
While candidates in the listed
location(s) are encouraged for this
role, candidates in other locations will
be considered.
We're building a finance function
that stays ahead of the curve —
maximizing self-serve AI capabilities
while driving an AI-first automation
roadmap to operate at the pace
Databricks demands. The Accounting
Manager, Accounts Receivable, will serve
as a senior individual contributor
owning end-to-end technical AR
accounting across global AR balances and
multiple legal entities, leading
multi-entity subledger consolidations as
our global footprint expands. Working
within a structured preparer/reviewer
framework in close partnership with the
broader Order-to-Cash (OTC), Revenue,
and Finance Transformation teams, this
high-ownership role bridges technical
accounting rigor with cross-functional
operational scale.
Close quality, accurate management
reporting, and subledger integrity are
non-negotiable. Success in this role
requires both strong operational
execution and sound technical accounting
judgment - applying U.S. GAAP to complex
global receivables matters, bad debt
modeling, and close accruals to ensure
an audit-ready subledger. You will own a
high-quality close today while directly
shaping how our global receivables
accounting operates tomorrow, using an
AI-first automation mindset to scale our
processes alongside rapid company
growth.
The impact you will have:
Own the Global AR Month-End Close:
Autonomously lead the monthly close
cycle for Global AR balances, preparing
end-to-end subledger-to-GL
reconciliations, roll-forward schedules,
unbilled revenue, deferred revenue
adjustments, contra-AR, complex close
accruals, and AR management reporting
with clear analysis of material
movements and key drivers.
Technical Accounting & AFDA
Modeling: Own the Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts (AFDA) and Current Expected
Credit Loss (CECL) accounting models;
assess underlying assumptions and
portfolio trends, prepare monthly
provision recommendations, process
approved write-offs with full audit
trails, and ensure technical U.S. GAAP
compliance
Lead AI & Automation Adoption: Lead
the identification, design, and adoption
of AI and automation opportunities
across AR accounting workflows,
leveraging Databricks, LLMs, and
advanced analytics to automate manual
reconciliations, improve accrual
accuracy, strengthen controls, and
accelerate period closes.
Maintain Balance Sheet Integrity: Own AR
subledger integrity, flux analyses,
variance explanations, and
period-over-period movement schedules,
providing clear management insights into
AR trends, material movements, and key
balance sheet drivers for senior Finance
leadership.
Drive Audit Readiness & SOX
Controls: Maintain audit-ready
workpapers and process documentation;
serve as the primary point of contact
for internal and external auditors
regarding AR schedules, walkthroughs,
and audit request responses.
Cross-Functional Process Alignment:
Partner with Billing Operations, Cash
Applications, Revenue Assurance, Revenue
Accounting, Corporate Accounting, and
FP&A teams to validate subledger
accuracy, clear unapplied balances, and
reconcile AR balances.
Finance Transformation & SAP
Implementation: Partner with our
Transformation, Engineering, and IT
teams to redesign AR accounting
workflows, eliminate manual routines,
and drive process standardization,
automation, testing, and data readiness
for SAP and other systems
implementations.
What we look for:
Experience: 6+ years of progressive AR
and GL accounting experience in a
mid-to-large organization, with
demonstrated ownership of month-end
close, AFDA/CECL, subledger-to-GL
reconciliations, and AR management
reporting.
Credentials: CPA required.
Bachelor's Degree in Accounting or
Finance.
Technical Accounting: Strong U.S. GAAP
judgment and ability to independently
research, document, and defend
accounting conclusions relating to
receivables, revenue recognition
alignment, accrual cut-off, contract
assets/liabilities, and expected credit
loss methodologies.
Autonomy & Review Readiness: Proven
ability to operate independently with
high autonomy, producing clean,
reviewer-ready workpapers within a
preparer/reviewer/approver framework.
Systems & ERP: Hands-on ERP
experience (SAP, NetSuite, or similar)
with the ability to query, reconcile,
and validate data across subledger and
GL modules.
M&A & Integration Experience:
Prior experience supporting the
accounting workstream of an acquisition
is a strong plus. Comfort operating in
ambiguous, fast-moving integration
environments with evolving data,
processes, and systems is essential.
The Automation Mindset: Advanced Excel
proficiency (Power Query, dynamic
arrays) paired with hands-on experience
deploying or evaluating AI tools in a
finance context; familiarity with data
platforms like Databricks is a strong
plus.
Ownership & Mindset: High ownership,
detail-oriented, fast-moving, direct
communicator, and calm under pressure.
Open-minded and change-oriented.
Scale & Agility: High-growth
technology or SaaS industry experience
strongly preferred; exposure to
recurring or usage-based billing models
is an advantage. Public accounting
background preferred.
