About the role
inDrive is seeking a Senior Revenue Accountant to serve as the US GAAP subject-matter expert for our global Revenue Accounting team, while staying hands-on in the monthly close.

- Research authoritative guidance and interpretive literature, and author clear technical accounting memos and position papers for new products, pricing changes, partner contracts, and non-routine transactions
- Review new commercial arrangements early to flag accounting implications, and translate conclusions into system, data, and process requirements
- Assist in preparing revenue disclosures when asked (disaggregation, contract balances, remaining performance obligations) and monitor new FASB/SEC guidance to support public company readiness
Revenue Operations & Close
- Prepare and post journal entries in the ERP for revenue, customer incentives, refunds and chargebacks, payment provider fees, bad debt reserves, and loan-related activity
- Perform monthly balance sheet reconciliations and revenue flux analysis; investigate variances and ensure completeness, cutoff, and accurate period alignment
- Tie source and subledger data to the general ledger in a high-volume, multi-currency environment, partnering with Payment Provider Reconciliation and Data teams to resolve breaks
Controls, Audit & Process Improvement
- Design, document, and operate SOX-compliant controls over revenue, including process narratives and risk and control matrices
- Serve as a contact for external auditors on revenue: walkthroughs, PBC requests, and defense of technical positions
- Drive automation of revenue recognition and JE workflows, partnering with Finance Systems and Data teams to reduce manual effort and risk
