THE OPPORTUNITY

Why leave your current role for Appian? As our Senior Accountant for Services Contract Revenue, you won’t just manage ledgers—you will shape how we recognize enterprise value. This high-visibility role places you at the intersection of business delivery and corporate compliance, providing a masterclass in ASC 606 and percentage-of-completion (POC) accounting within a fast-paced enterprise software leader. If you are looking to step out of back-office routine and into an impactful career path with senior leadership exposure, this is your platform.

  • Provide Cross-Functional Guidance: Review draft customer contracts and partner with and provide real-time accounting guidance to Legal, Customer Success (CS), and Sales personnel to optimize contract structures.
  • Manage Revenue Frameworks: Execute and maintain the percentage-of-completion (POC) tracking framework to accurately forecast and calculate monthly fixed-price project milestones and billings.
  • Collaborate on Data Inputs: Partner directly with CS Operations and leadership to guarantee complete and timely monthly data inputs.
  • Own Close Cycle Workflows: Take full ownership of key reconciliations and reporting workflows during our fast-paced Monthly and Quarterly Revenue close cycles.
  • Support External Audits: Support external auditors during annual audits and quarterly reviews by delivering flawless transaction documentation and identifying opportunities to automate manual accounting workflows.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Degree: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.
  • Experience: 3+ years of progressive experience in project revenue accounting or corporate accounting.
  • Compliance Domain: Deep foundational knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition principles.
  • Technical Tooling: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel for complex financial modeling and data manipulation.
  • Strong organizational and analytical skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Attention to Detail: Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy, with the ability to meet and take full responsibility for recurring monthly deadlines.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • CPA certification or a Master of Science in Accounting is highly preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience utilizing the POC method for fixed-price contracts.
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise resource planning (ERP) financial systems such as NetSuite or SuiteProjects.
  • Prior background within public accounting.
  • We value experience with enterprise platforms as these skills translate well into our Enterprise-Grade Orchestration environment.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
