The Role
As the Revenue Accountant you will be the technical backbone of Peregrine’s revenue recognition function. This role will own the mechanics of ASC 606 in practice: building and maintaining the monthly revenue waterfall, preparing revenue journal entries and drafting the workpapers that support Peregrine’s revenue recognition process. You’ll independently prepare technical analyses and recommendations, partnering closely with the Revenue Accounting Manager on revenue recognition matters. This role combines disciplined monthly close execution with contract-level analysis, historical revenue projects, and audit support. You’ll bring strong technical grounding, curiosity, and attention to detail, with the opportunity to deepen your revenue accounting expertise in a growing SaaS business.
What You Will Do
• Own the monthly revenue waterfall calculation and maintenance end-to-end, including the underlying formulas and validation checks. • Prepare and post monthly revenue journal entries for the U.S. and international contracts as part of the close calendar, including multi-currency transactions and related FX considerations. • Prepare recurring revenue trend and variance analyses and ad hoc reports, reviewing account activity to identify discrepancies, explain changes, and provide meaningful financial insights to the Revenue Accounting Manager. • Prepare historical revenue review and correction workpapers under light oversight, working assigned items through to resolution. • Independently draft the annual ASC 606 workpaper set—including performance obligation (POB) analyses, standalone selling price (SSP) reviews, and contract-level revenue patterns—for review and sign-off. • Analyze contract-level performance obligations and revenue-recognition questions, preparing recommended positions for review and approval. • Monitor service-delivery status and revenue-recognition triggers across the contract population, flagging timing changes before they land in close. • Prepare supporting schedules and workpapers for month-end close and audit requests, meeting established close and audit deadlines. • Support contract intake by triaging high-volume contract-related correspondence, confirming terms, keeping the contract repository current and organized, and analyzing contract trends within workpapers.
