Revenue Accounting Manager

Join to apply for the Revenue Accounting Manager role at Algolia .

At Algolia, we help developers and product teams connect their users with what matters most, in milliseconds. As a fast‑growing SaaS leader powering over 1.5 trillion searches each year, our commitment to scale, reliability, and innovation drives everything we do.

The Finance organization at Algolia empowers our global growth by delivering accurate, timely, and automated financial processes. In line with our FY26 strategy to enable platform-based growth and scale, Revenue Accounting is at the forefront of transitioning from manual workflows to robust, automated systems that support strategic decision‑making.

Why This Role Matters

Our current revenue recognition processes are highly manual. We’re seeking a Revenue Accounting Manager who will drive automation end to end by designing, building, and owning technology‑enabled workflows that reduce risk, accelerate month‑end close, and deliver clear insights on SaaS metrics.

What You’ll Do

• Lead Automation Initiatives : Architect and implement automated workflows across the revenue life cycle, quote-to-cash, ASC606 compliance, and SaaS KPI reporting, leveraging tools like NetSuite ARM, Salesforce, and scripting (e.g., Python, VBA).
• Own Month‑End Close : Oversee and optimize the close process for revenue, deferred revenue, accounts receivable, allowance for doubtful accounts, and key SaaS metrics (ARR, churn, growth rates).
• Design Controls & Systems : Develop, test, and monitor internal controls to ensure full ASC606 compliance; partner with IT and external auditors to validate system enhancements.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration : Work closely with Order Management, Sales Ops, AR, and FP&A to embed automation, streamline data flows, and elevate accuracy across the quote‑to‑cash lifecycle.
• Insight & Reporting : Build dashboards and automated reports that provide real‑time visibility into forecast vs. actual revenue, deferral schedules, and revenue leakage.
• Mentor & Scale : Lead and coach a small team of accounting professionals in best practices for automation, process documentation, and continuous improvement.
