About the Role

Reporting to the Senior Manager of Revenue Accounting and based in San Francisco, CA or Denver, CO, you'll play a strategic, highly visible role within Checkr's Finance Operations (FinOps) organization — shaping how deals are structured and new revenue models come to market while ensuring alignment with ASC 606 and U.S. GAAP. You'll lead technical revenue accounting analyses, own the revenue close process, and translate accounting guidance into clear, scalable policies that balance compliance, efficiency, and commercial impact. You'll partner closely with Sales, Deal Desk, Legal, and RevOps to influence decisions that directly shape Checkr's continued growth.

Responsibilities

Own technical revenue accounting under ASC 606, serving as subject matter expert for complex revenue recognition matters, including contract assessments, non-standard deal structures, and evolving pricing and product models.
Lead the revenue accounting close for month-end and quarter-end, ensuring accurate and timely revenue recognition, reconciliations, and reporting.
Provide strategic accounting guidance to the business, partnering with Sales, Deal Desk, Legal, RevOps, and FP&A to influence deal structures, product launches, and go-to-market initiatives before execution.
Design, prototype, and ship AI-enabled tools and agents that automate manual work across the quote-to-cash lifecycle, compounding impact within the team and beyond.
Draft technical accounting memos and maintain SOX-ready documentation, owning key controls and supporting audit readiness across revenue processes as the business scales.
Lead high-impact revenue initiatives and special projects, applying technical judgment and analytical insight to enable compliant growth and data-driven decision-making.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field; CPA strongly preferred; 6+ years of progressive revenue accounting experience (Big 4 plus industry preferred).
Deep technical expertise in U.S. GAAP and ASC 606, with demonstrated experience evaluating complex customer contracts, non-standard deal structures, and revenue recognition judgments.
Track record owning revenue close activities with increasing scope, speed, and accuracy, plus strong project ownership leading ambiguous or cross-functional initiatives.
Demonstrated AI fluency — you've moved past using AI for one-off tasks toward building and shipping tools or agents (e.g., with Claude, Lovable, Cursor, Gemini, or similar) that create leverage for the broader team, with hands-on SQL/BI experience.
Excellent written and verbal communicator who partners effectively with Sales, Deal Desk, Legal, Product, RevOps, FP&A, and Engineering — translating technical accounting conclusions for non-technical stakeholders.
An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes.
