Senior Manager Revenue Accouting

You’ll own the technical accounting behind how Mews recognises revenue across SaaS, fintech and financial services, and set the standard the wider finance team works to. This role exists because our revenue streams are getting more varied, and every new product, pricing model or payment flow needs a clear, controlled accounting answer before it goes live. You’ll make those calls across all Mews entities and geographies, with the autonomy to shape how it’s done.

Part 1: You’ll lead revenue accounting close, reconciliations and technical conclusions, and manage two revenue accounting team members. You’ll work day to day with Product, Payments, Engineering, Billing and Finance Systems.

Part 2: Each revenue stream brings its own recognition questions under US GAAP and IFRS. The problem this role solves is keeping those answers consistent, documented and audit-ready as the business grows, and keeping the close accurate while it does.

What you would do

Own the application of ASC 606 and IFRS 15 across the organisation, including principal-versus-agent, multiple-element arrangements and variable consideration, and set the revenue recognition policies that follow from it.

Lead month-end and quarter-end revenue close, including reconciliations of revenue, receivables, deferred revenue and contract balances, and review adjustments within delegated authority.

Evaluate new products, pricing changes and commercial arrangements before launch, so the accounting is designed in from the start rather than fixed afterwards.

Build and strengthen revenue controls and SOX readiness, from source and billing systems through to the general ledger, and lead audit requests and remediation.

Lead, coach and develop two revenue accounting team members, and drive close automation with BlackLine and controlled, AI-enabled validation of revenue data with proper review and audit trails.

AI Fluency Level 4: This is an AI Fluency Level 4 role, which means you’d build AI-powered systems rather than only using AI in your own work. In practice, that could mean designing an AI-enabled validation layer that checks revenue data against contracts and billing records, with the review steps and audit trail a controlled close needs. For more information on AI fluency at Mews, please refer to “AI Fluency at Mews: A Comprehensive Guide for Candidates” on Confluence.

What you would bring

8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including substantial revenue accounting and at least 2 years of people management.

Advanced knowledge of ASC 606 and IFRS 15, including principal-versus-agent assessments, multiple-element arrangements and variable consideration.

Experience with SaaS, fintech, financial services, payment or transaction-based revenue models, ideally across multiple entities or markets.

Hands-on experience with revenue close, reconciliations, technical memoranda and audit-ready support, plus a strong grasp of internal controls, SOX readiness and remediation.

AI Fluency Level 4: you have built AI-powered tools or systems that others use, not just used AI in your own workflow.

Nice to have

CPA, ACCA, ACA or an equivalent accountancy qualification.

Familiarity with BlackLine or similar reconciliation systems, and Jira or comparable issue-tracking tools.
