Meet the team
We're looking for a Senior Revenue Accountant to take ownership of complex revenue
accounting areas and help scale our revenue processes as we continue our rapid global
growth.
This role will serve as a subject matter expert on revenue recognition (ASC 606),
partnering closely with Product, Sales, Data, FP&A;, Legal, and Operations. You will play
a key role in strengthening controls, improving automation, building scalable processes
in preparation for public-company level rigor.
This is a high-impact, highly visible position in a fast-paced, international technology
environment.
What you'll be doing
Own the end-to-end revenue accounting process including revenue recognition,
deferred revenue, incentives, refunds, credits, and breakage and the underlying
accounting policies, controls, and documentation that make positions defensible




under audit and regulatory scrutiny.
Lead technical accounting analysis under ASC 606, including principal vs. agent
assessments, variable consideration, and marketplace-specific complexities
arising from new product launches, pricing changes, partnerships, and Preply's
two-sided B2B/B2C structure.
Develop deep fluency in Preply's marketplace economics including B2B/B2C
revenue mix, tutor payout structures, and unit economics and serve as a credible
thought partner to VP-level stakeholders when commercial decisions carry
revenue recognition implications.
Prepare, review, and own complex monthly revenue journal entries,
reconciliations, flux analyses, and close deliverables and be accountable for the
quality of everything that flows through your workstreams, not just your own
output.
Ensure the integrity and scalability of revenue data flows between billing
systems, product databases, and NetSuite; identify automation opportunities and
drive process improvements that support scale.
Design, implement, and continuously strengthen internal controls over revenue,
supporting SOX readiness and serving as the primary point of contact for
revenue-related audit requests and technical discussions.
Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Legal, and Operations to assess




the accounting implications of new features and commercial initiatives before
they launch.
Drive SEC disclosure readiness for revenue; own the revenue footnote and
MD&A; narratives, build the accounting policy library that supports future filings,
and ensure positions are defensible under the highest level of scrutiny.
Apply AI tools to accelerate revenue accounting workflows, lead proof-of-concept
initiatives within the function, and define the accuracy review standards required
before AI-assisted outputs inform accounting positions or disclosures.
What you need to succeed
8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including Big Four (or
equivalent) public accounting and/or revenue accounting in a high-growth SaaS,
marketplace, or technology company.
Deep understanding of US GAAP, with strong expertise in ASC 606.
Proven experience performing technical accounting research and drafting
accounting memos.
Experience working with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred) and complex data
environments.
Ability to independently query and analyze large datasets using SQL, Looker, or
other BI tools to support revenue accounting, reconciliations, and technical.
