Sr Revenue Accountant THE ROLE Revenue at Rinchem doesn't come from a single system or a single team. It comes from warehousing, trucking, and international freight forwarding contracts across six countries — and the data behind it lives with Operations, Sales, Billing, and site leadership. The Senior Revenue Accountant is the person who pulls all of that together and stands behind the number. This is an ownership role. You will run the revenue close end to end: chasing down the inputs, holding other teams to deadlines, applying ASC 606 to real contracts with real ambiguity, and explaining the result to Finance leadership in language they can act on. If you like being the person who knows why revenue moved — and who fixed the process, so it doesn't break again next month — this is your seat. WHAT YOU'LL OWN Revenue Recognition
Own revenue recognition across all service lines (warehousing, transportation, freight forwarding, and value-added services) in accordance with ASC 606, GAAP, and company policy. Review customer contracts, amendments, rate schedules, and non-standard terms to determine performance obligations, transaction price, and timing of recognition; document conclusions in clear technical memos that stand up to auditor review. Serve as the go-to resource for revenue questions from Sales, Legal, and Operations during contract negotiation. Maintain and improve revenue accounting policies and support internal controls.
The Close — And The People Who Feed It
Drive the revenue portion of the monthly and annual close to a firm calendar: define what each contributing team owes, when it's due, and in what format, then follow through until it arrives complete and accurate. Coordinate inputs across Operations, Billing, Accounts Receivable, Sales, and international sites; escalate constructively when timelines or data quality slip. Prepare and review revenue journal entries, accruals, deferrals, unbilled revenue, and account reconciliations. Partner with Accounts Receivable to help resolve billing disputes that affect recognized revenue.
Analysis and Reporting
Build and deliver the recurring revenue reporting package: revenue by customer, site, service line, and region, with variance analysis that explains the drivers rather than restating the math. Investigate unusual trends — volume vs. rate vs. mix — and bring findings to Finance leadership with a recommendation attached. Support budgeting, forecasting, and management/investor reporting with revenue data and insight. Lead revenue-related requests during external audit and provide support for internal control testing. Deliver ad hoc analysis on revenue streams, pricing, and contract profitability.
Making It Better
Identify the manual steps, reconciliation gaps, and handoffs that create rework, and drive fixes in process, system configuration, or reporting. Contribute to system and reporting improvements as Rinchem's finance tools and data capabilities mature. Stay current on accounting standards affecting revenue and assess the impact on Rinchem.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE
In 90 Days: You understand Rinchem's service lines and contract structures, you've mapped who supplies every input to the revenue close, and you've closed a month with support. In 6 Months: You own the revenue close. Contributors know their deadlines and hit them. Your reconciliations and memos are audit-ready without a scramble. In 12 Months: The close is faster and cleaner than when you arrived, leadership relies on your revenue reporting to make decisions, and you are the first call when a new contract structure raises a recognition question.
WHAT YOU BRING Required:
Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance. 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with meaningful time spent in revenue accounting. Working command of ASC 606. Strong general accounting foundation: journal entries, account reconciliations, and a clear understanding of the trial balance, P&L, and balance sheet. Advanced Excel: pivot tables, XLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, nested formulas, and comfort working with large data sets from multiple sources. Experience with a major ERP (SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, or similar) and Microsoft Office. Demonstrated ability to get information out of people who don't report to you — setting expectations, following up, and escalating without burning the relationship. Exceptional written and verbal communication: you can explain a technical revenue conclusion to a site operations manager and to a CFO, and both walk away clear on what it means. Ownership mentality — you treat the number as yours, chase loose ends, and don't wait to be asked.
Preferred:
CPA or CPA candidate. Public accounting experience, or a mix of public and industry. Experience in logistics, transportation, 3PL, supply chain, or another multi-site service business. Multi-entity and multi-currency experience, including international operations and intercompany transactions. Exposure to private equity–backed reporting requirements or a formal internal control environment. Familiarity with BI and data tools (Power BI, Tableau, SQL) or with automating recurring reporting. Experience improving or implementing a revenue process or system.
