The opportunity. 

We are seeking a highly detail-oriented and commercially astute Commercial Accountant to play a pivotal role in safeguarding and optimising revenue performance across the business.

As a trusted Finance Business Partner to our commercial and delivery teams, you will take ownership of revenue recognition and gross margin integrity, ensuring compliance with IFRS 15 while providing clear, actionable insights that influence deal structuring, project performance, and strategic decision-making.

This is a high-impact role at the heart of a fast-growing, global SaaS organisation — offering the opportunity to gain deep exposure to complex customer contracts, regional commercial dynamics, and evolving revenue models, while driving automation and continuous improvement across financial processes. 

What you’ll be doing.

• Lead regional month-end close activities with a focus on revenue recognition (IFRS 15 / GAAP), project cost validation, and gross margin reporting, ensuring compliance with internal policies and external accounting standards.
• Own transactional accuracy across revenue, cost of sales, project setup, contract amendments, and change orders, ensuring all financial data flows correctly through to gross margin, project, and customer analysis.
• Prepare and reconcile deferred and accrued revenue schedules, validating completeness and accuracy of supporting documentation.
• Deliver actionable insights to commercial and delivery teams, highlighting trends, risks, and opportunities to optimise project profitability and revenue performance.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Sales, Delivery, Operations) to understand commercial activity, project performance, and operational drivers impacting financial results.
• Support global audit and compliance requirements, providing timely reconciliations, evidence, and documentation for internal and external auditors.
• Drive process improvements and automation across reporting, data capture, and financial processes, enhancing efficiency, control, and scalability.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of new financial processes, ensuring alignment with global standards and best practice.
• Support ad hoc commercial analysis and business projects, providing insights that influence decision-making across the organisation.

Requirements

What you’ll bring.  

• Qualified accountant – ACCA / ACA / CIMA.
• Significant experience in a relevant accounting role, with a strong focus on revenue recognition in a commercial environment.
• Proven hands-on experience applying IFRS 15 revenue recognition principles (experience with US GAAP is highly advantageous).
• Demonstrated experience reviewing and assessing customer contracts, including multi-element arrangements, deferred revenue, and contract modifications.
• Experience operating as a Finance Business Partner, working closely with commercial teams to support deal structuring, pricing, and revenue treatment decisions.
• Strong understanding of SaaS or subscription-based revenue models (highly desirable).
• Experience automating and improving processes through systemisation and controls.
• Experience building and preparing reporting packs using a reporting tool.
• Advanced Excel skills.
• Ability to work under pressure, manage competing priorities, and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
