Job description

Senior Manager Accounting Compliance, Receivables and Reserves

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

Life at Axon is fast‑paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

As Axon’s Senior Manager, Accounting Compliance – Receivables & Reserves, you will serve as the company’s accounting leader for Accounts Receivable and related reserves (bad debt, concessions, CECL), Contract Asset and Contract Liability. This role is focused on technical accounting, compliance, controls, and reporting — not day‑to‑day billing or collections operations.

You will own reconciliations, reserves methodology, balance sheet flux analysis, policy documentation, audit support, compliance monitoring, and cross‑functional governance. You’ll partner across the business to ensure systems, processes, and financial reporting align with U.S. GAAP, SEC requirements, Axon‑specific accounting policies, and our internal control environment. Your work ensures transparency, accuracy, and audit readiness in financial statements and provides leadership with actionable insights into receivable trends, risks, and compliance.

What You’ll Do

Accounting & Compliance Ownership

  • Lead accounting and compliance oversight for Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets, Deferred Revenue, and all related reserves.
  • Own the design, preparation, and review of reconciliations including AR aging, CECL reserves, concessions, bad debt, clearing accounts, etc.
  • Perform and review balance sheet flux analyses, ensuring all variances are thoroughly analyzed, documented, and explained to management and auditors.
  • Assist with drafting and maintaining technical accounting memos for reserves, concessions, CECL, and AR accounting conclusions (ASC 326, ASC 606).
  • Deliver all AR / reserve‑related close calendar tasks (journals, reconciliations, flux analyses, disclosures) accurately and on time.
  • Ensure compliance not only with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting, but also with Axon’s internal accounting policies and procedures.
  • Accountable for outcomes of AR / reserve accounting and compliance activities, whether executed directly or delegated to team members.

Audit & Controls

  • Act as the primary point of contact for external and internal auditors on AR and reserve‑related areas (non‑day‑to‑day operations), Contract Asset and Contract Liability.
  • Prepare, review, and deliver audit support schedules and ensure completeness of evidence and documentation.
  • Lead SOX walkthroughs, control ownership, quarterly sub‑certifications, and management representation processes for AR / reserve accounts (non‑day‑to‑day operations).
  • Proactively identify, elevate, and remediate compliance or accounting risks related to AR and reserves.
  • Work with audit to ensure internal controls, user access, and governance are properly designed and operating for AR / reserve‑related systems.
  • Process & Policy Leadership

  • Drive end‑to‑end process documentation for AR, reserves, concessions, and compliance activities; ensure updates are maintained and evidence retained.
  • Establish, maintain, and continuously refine policies and procedures for receivable accounting and reserves.
  • Ensure proper documentation retention practices aligned with audit and regulatory standards.
  • Support M&A due diligence and post‑acquisition integration as it relates to receivables, reserves, and compliance (non‑day‑to‑day operations).
  • Perform technical accounting research on ASC 326, ASC 606, and other guidance; prepare recommendations for leadership and external auditors.
  • Monitor emerging accounting standards and regulatory changes; lead adoption of new guidance for AR and reserves.
  • Evaluate accounting impacts of new products, services, contracts, or business models as they relate to AR, reserves, and concessions.
  • Support time‑sensitive close and reporting requests, including unforeseen ad‑hoc needs.
  • Cross‑Functional & Systems Partnership

  • Partner with Billing / AR Operations to ensure accurate accounting results from operational activities, while not performing daily billing or collections tasks.
  • Serve as the functional accounting representative for system implementations, enhancements, automation, and ongoing data governance (ERP, RevStream, CRM).
  • Ensure data integrity, validations, and mappings across AR / reserve‑related systems and reports.
  • Collaborate with External Reporting on financial statement disclosures for receivables and reserves (10‑Q / 10‑K).
  • Work with FP&A to provide reserve inputs to forecasts, budgets, and long‑range plans.
  • Partner with Legal, Sales, and Operations to review, document, and account for concessions.
  • Participate in and support cross‑functional initiatives (Legal, IT, Ops, Finance) that impact AR / reserve accounting and compliance.
  • Coordinate globally to ensure methodology consistency across all Axon entities.
  • Analytics, Risk, & Leadership

  • Develop AR analytics, dashboards, and KPIs to monitor reserve adequacy, aging health, and collection risk trends.
  • Prepare management reporting packs on AR / reserve metrics, risks, and trends for leadership decision‑making.
  • Provide executive‑ready reporting on reserve drivers, risks, and compliance considerations.
  • Benchmark reserve methodologies and processes against industry best practices and recommend improvements.
  • Lead cross‑functional efforts to reduce audit follow‑ups by refining data quality and documentation provided upfront.
  • Conduct cross‑functional training for AR, billing, sales, and finance teams on the accounting impact of concessions, reserves, and compliance requirements.
  • Ensure timely escalation of unresolved issues or risks to Controllership leadership.
  • Lead and support ad‑hoc analyses and special projects related to AR, reserves, concessions, or compliance at the request of leadership, auditors, or regulators.
  • Represent AR / reserve results in quarterly / annual close meetings, CFO reviews, cross‑functional forums, and board‑related discussions.
  • Continuously monitor AR / reserve balances, risks, and compliance, escalating issues proactively.
  • Ensure timely and proactive communication of results, risks, and issues to leadership and stakeholders.
  • Mentor and develop staff, fostering expertise in reconciliations, compliance, and technical accounting.
  • What You Bring

  • CPA required with deep technical accounting knowledge of ASC 326 (CECL) and ASC 606.
  • 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including public accounting (Big 4 or national firm) and public company controllership experience.
  • Proven expertise in reconciliations, reserves methodologies, balance sheet flux analysis, audit support, and technical memo writing.

  • Experience partnering on ERP / CRM implementations and ensuring accounting / compliance requirements are built in.
  • Experience with data governance and integrity for accounting / reporting systems.
  • Strong analytical skills; comfortable working with complex data and distilling results into actionable insights.
