Senior Technical Accountant

The Senior Technical Accountant owns some of Coder’s most complex accounting work, with a particular focus on technical revenue accounting, equity accounting, consolidated financial reporting, and quarterly Board and investor reporting. You’ll help us reach well-supported accounting conclusions, strengthen our policies, and bring rigor to areas that carry the most judgment and complexity.

Reporting to the Controller, you’ll work closely with FP&A, Legal, Sales Operations, Product, Corporate Accounting, and our external auditors. You’ll lead key technical accounting workstreams, own Controllership’s external reporting deliverables, and help shape a broader technical accounting function as Coder grows across markets and legal entities.

What you’ll do here

- Own the technical accounting analysis for complex revenue arrangements, including contract modifications, variable consideration, new product offerings, SSP considerations, and other non-routine transactions.

- Research and document accounting positions for complex transactions, translating FASB ASC guidance into clear, well-supported conclusions.

- Draft, maintain, and evolve Coder’s ASC 606 revenue recognition policy memo and related revenue playbook as our business, products, and contract structures change.

- Partner with Corporate Accounting on complex revenue matters that affect period-end reporting, helping ensure technical conclusions are applied consistently.

- Advise Finance, Legal, Sales Operations, and Product on the accounting implications of business decisions, contract structures, and new go-to-market offerings.

- Prepare and review quarterly stock-based compensation accounting, including journal entries, disclosures, and variance analysis.

- Prepare group financial statements, including consolidation and entity-level reporting, with consideration for a multinational legal entity structure.

- Own the preparation of Controllership’s quarterly reporting for the Board and investors, including financial results, key accounting matters, and supporting analyses, subject to Controller review.

- Partner with FP&A and Finance leadership to ensure Board and investor materials are accurate, consistent, and clearly supported by the underlying financials.

- Evaluate accounting implications that arise as Coder operates across jurisdictions, partnering with internal and external experts where needed.

- Serve as the primary technical accounting partner for external auditors on revenue, equity, and other complex accounting matters.

- Translate complex technical accounting guidance into clear, practical recommendations for leadership and cross-functional partners.

- Use AI tools where appropriate to accelerate technical research, memo drafting, and improvements to accounting processes.

- Support SOX readiness by maintaining strong controls and clear documentation across your workstreams.

- Contribute to special projects, system enhancements, and ad hoc analysis as the business scales.

What we’re looking for

- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.

- Active CPA.

- 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including substantial hands-on technical accounting work.

- Big Four or public accounting audit experience.

- Deep knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition, including multi-element arrangements, variable consideration, SSP analysis, and contract modifications.

- Experience with stock-based compensation accounting under ASC 718 and related equity administration workflows.

- Hands-on experience preparing or reviewing consolidated financial statements.

- Experience working with multinational companies, international subsidiaries, or multi-entity corporate structures.

- Working knowledge of the accounting considerations that come with operating across jurisdictions.

- Proven ability to research and apply FASB ASC guidance, evaluate complex accounting issues, and document well-supported conclusions in clear memos.

- Strong Excel skills, including experience managing and reconciling large data sets across multiple systems.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex accounting concepts clear to senior leaders and cross-functional partners.

- Ability to operate independently, exercise sound judgment, and manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.

Bonus tacos if you have

- Experience helping a growing company build or expand its technical accounting function.

- Experience with international accounting matters such as foreign currency, intercompany arrangements, or cross-border entity structures.

- Experience supporting SOX readiness or strengthening financial reporting controls.
