The Role

As the Senior Revenue Accountant, you will be the technical backbone of Peregrine’s revenue recognition function. You 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 our revenue recognition process. You’ll work closely with members of the accounting team, independently preparing technical analyses and recommendations and contributing to the continued build-out of our revenue processes and systems. This role combines disciplined monthly close execution with contract-level analysis, audit support, and system implementation work. You’ll bring strong technical grounding, curiosity, and a critical eye for 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 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 accounting team, including the Controller and CFO.

Independently draft the annual ASC 606 workpaper set, including performance obligation (POB) analyses, standalone selling price (SSP) reviews, and contract-level revenue patterns, along with supporting schedules for month-end close and audit requests.

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.

Support contract intake by partnering cross-functionally with the sales, legal, and contracts teams to triage contract-related correspondence, confirm terms, keep the contract repository current and organized, and analyze contract trends.

Support system implementations, including contributing to design and testing.

Support ad hoc revenue accounting projects as needed.

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field or equivalent experience.

5+ years of progressive SaaS revenue accounting experience in applying ASC 606.

Solid working knowledge of the ASC 606 five-step model, including SSP, contract modifications, variable consideration, and performance obligation identification, with the ability to independently draft technically sound workpapers, identify open judgment questions, and present clear recommendations.

Experience with month-end close mechanics: journal entry preparation, account reconciliation, multi-currency transactions, and audit workpaper support.

Strong spreadsheet skills, including formulas and reconciling data across systems.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex revenue information into clear analyses and collaborate effectively across teams.

A proven record of accuracy and follow-through, with the ability to work against a fixed close calendar and flag risk to it in advance.

Preferred: 2+ years of public accounting experience, ideally at a Big Four firm, ideally with technology or SaaS clients.

Nice to have: NetSuite experience, and exposure to government or public-sector contracts such as milestone billing, multi-agency or consortium billing structures, or public-sector procurement terms
