Senior Revenue Accountant

About AppZen

Our AI platform integrates with customers' existing systems to reduce manual effort, errors, fraud, and compliance risk, giving finance and accounting teams the tools to operate more strategically and scale without adding headcount.

As a member of the Finance team, the Senior Revenue Accountant will own operational revenue accounting and compliance at AppZen,. This role reviews, analyzes, and approves customer contracts and revenue arrangements under ASC 606, drives the month-end revenue close, and partners closely with AR & Collections, Deal Desk, GTM, and FP&A to ensure revenue, deferred revenue, and receivable balances are accurate, well-documented, and audit-ready. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, motivated, and thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. This is initially an individual contributor role, with the expectation that it will grow into a managerial position as the Revenue Accounting function scales.
