About the role

Revenue Accounting Manager at LiveKit, responsible for governing Order to Cash, ASC 606-compliant revenue recognition, and ensuring accurate billing-to-revenue processes in a high-growth startup environment.

Responsibilities

  • Author our revenue accounting policy set — principal versus agent on brokered inference, breakage on expiring credits, performance obligation identification and allocation, minimum commitment versus overage, and contract modifications — and make each one stand up to an external auditor
  • Own the monthly revenue close: recognition, the deferred revenue rollforward, contract asset and liability balances, and the flux analysis
  • Own the revenue portion of our external audit, from the PBC list through the technical positions
  • Replace manual revenue entries with an automated billing-to-revenue reconciliation and a documented exception process — revenue should be computed by a system and reviewed by a person, with invoice accuracy above 99% and root-cause tracking on the misses
  • Govern order to cash: billing accuracy, dispute resolution, and an AR and collections process with real DSO and aging targets
  • Own commission capitalization and amortization under ASC 340-40
  • Review non-standard deal structures before they're signed, so the accounting consequence is a decision rather than a discovery

Qualifications

  • You're a licensed CPA with a Big 4 or comparable technical accounting foundation, plus real industry experience in a high-growth startup environment
  • You have demonstrable ASC 606 experience with usage-based or consumption revenue
  • You write technical memos that a reviewer can follow without a meeting: facts, guidance, analysis, conclusion
  • Experience assessing GAAP guidance and implementing it in real-world situations
  • You've owned a monthly revenue close hands-on, and you've closed revenue through at least one external audit
  • You're comfortable being the technical authority without a bench behind you
