Revenue Accounting Project Manager
Posted Updated
Description
- The Revenue Accounting Project Manager will help build and standardize how Function Health’s revenue accounting function operates — the processes it runs on and the systems that support them — without performing the close itself
- This role sits at the intersection of accounting, process design, and cross-functional execution: you’ll understand accounting treatment well enough to shape sound requirements and standards, and you’ll project-manage the work needed to get there, in service of a team that owns the close
- You’ll work across multiple revenue streams, each with its own systems, maturity level, and open questions
- You’ll support the team’s initiative roadmap by surfacing where a process or control needs attention, then take ownership of sequencing, scoping, and driving that work to a documented, repeatable outcome
- That often involves systems and data, but just as often it’s about establishing how something should work as a matter of process, independent of any one tool
- You will report to the Senior Revenue Accounting Manager, and operate with a high degree of autonomy on your workstreams while receiving direction on priorities and judgment calls
- This is a strong fit for someone who wants ownership over how the function’s processes and initiatives take shape — bringing forward what they’re noticing, flagging what doesn’t make sense, and driving cross-functional projects to completion with minimal oversight once scoped
- Support the Senior Manager in shaping the accounting initiative roadmap — surfacing process gaps, risks, and opportunities, then owning the scoping and prioritization of your workstreams once direction is set
- Design and standardize accounting processes and controls across revenue streams — independent of any single system — so operations run consistently and predictably as the business scales
- Own end-to-end project management for revenue accounting initiatives — scoping requirements, sequencing workstreams, tracking open items across stakeholders, and driving projects to completion against a deadline
- Serve as the connective tissue between Accounting and Data/Engineering, Finance, and Product — gathering requirements, resolving ambiguity between teams, and ensuring decisions made in one function are accurately reflected in another
- Translate accounting treatment and technical judgment into system requirements and configuration logic for ERP/revenue recognition systems, partnering with implementation teams and internal engineering resources
- Investigate data quality and process breakdowns by working directly with underlying datasets — tracing issues to root cause rather than reconciling around them, and partnering with Data/Engineering to fix them at the source
- Build and maintain documentation, mapping logic, and handoff materials that convert undocumented or ad hoc knowledge into clear, auditable procedures the accounting team can run against
- Prepare clear, organized documentation and data support for external audit and advisory partners on request, without owning the audit relationship directly

- Choose your own holidays
- The ideal candidate has an accounting background and can speak the language fluently, but is energized by building the structure around accounting rather than executing the close itself
- You’re naturally curious, comfortable digging into ambiguity to find the root cause of a problem, and able to independently manage a project from open questions to a finished, standardized process
- Clear, precise written and verbal communicator, with an ability to document process and judgment calls in a way others can follow without you in the room
- Solid understanding of US GAAP and ASC 606 revenue recognition, including application to subscription or service-based revenue models — strong enough to shape sound requirements and standards, even without performing the close
- 7+ years of progressive experience spanning accounting and either project management, business/systems analysis, or accounting operations; Big 4 public accounting experience is strongly preferred
- Track record of working cross-functionally with non-accounting teams (data, engineering, product, or finance) and translating between accounting requirements and technical or operational execution
- Experience designing or standardizing operational processes and controls, not just executing within existing ones
- Demonstrated project management skills — able to independently scope, sequence, and drive a cross-functional initiative to completion
- Strong data skills — comfortable working directly in large or imperfect datasets (Excel, SQL, or similar) to investigate issues rather than relying solely on pre-built reports
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- Hands-on use of AI or automation tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, advanced Excel/Sheets) in accounting or process-improvement workflows
- Experience with subscription-based, membership, or consumer health/tech business models
- CPA certification (or equivalent)
- SQL or other data-querying experience sufficient to independently investigate transaction-level data
- Experience scoping, configuring, and testing ERP or revenue recognition system implementations (e.g., NetSuite, Rillet, Zuora, or similar platforms) as an accounting stakeholder
