The ideal candidate brings a deep understanding of complex SaaS revenue models, a strong technical accounting background specifically with ASC 606, a passion for automation and process optimization, and experience leading high-performance teams.
How You’ll Contribute:
- Lead the Company’s revenue accounting function, ensuring compliance with ASC 606.
- Lead technical accounting assessments of customer contracts, with the focus on non-standard terms, contract modifications, and multi-element arrangements.

- Ensure SOX 404(b) compliant controls are documented and operating effectively across all quote-to-cash processes.
- Serve as the primary contact for internal and external audits related to revenue and receivables, including providing audit deliverables and technical documentation.

- Collaborate with Deal Desk, Sales, Legal and FP&A to enable timely, compliant, and scalable contracting and revenue processes.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and Deployment teams to assess impacts of new offerings on revenue recognition and operational processes.
- Own the completeness and accuracy of transaction data that drives billing and revenue, spanning across platform volume, customer-reported usage, and partner data - including the controls, reconciliations, and cross-functional collaboration that goes with it.
- Manage updates to Blend’s standalone selling price analysis and transaction price allocation methodologies.
- Oversee the billings and collections function, ensuring accurate, timely, and complete invoicing and cash application, and own the reporting that comes out of it — AR aging and reserves, unbilled and deferred revenue balances, and collections metrics such as DSO.
- Guide monthly and quarterly revenue close processes, overseeing revenue recognition entries, flux analysis, internal reporting, and external revenue-related disclosures.
- Lead, coach, and mentor a team of revenue and billing professionals with a focus on professional growth and high performance.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA strongly preferred.
- 12+ years of progressive experience in revenue accounting and billing/collections, including 5+ years in a leadership role.
