Head of Revenue Accounting

ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-8 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 50 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.

We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and large scale consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with revenue, data science, and strategic finance teams to ensure revenue is recognized accurately for new products, pricing/pricing models, or acquired businesses
• Review KPIs for key product lines on a monthly basis and share trends with strategic finance and revenue teams; assist with management and board presentations on revenue and bookings
• Research and understand nuances of the reporting and services provided by our various distribution channels (including fee structure, settlement timelines, and reporting calendars) to inform and drive improvements to existing billing infrastructure and processes
• Own the revenue month end close process including variance analysis and account reconciliation, delivering timely and accurate financial results in accordance with ASC 606
• Enable the successful completion of the company’s first financial statement audit across all revenue accounting areas, coordinating with external auditors on the revenue testing plan
• Support CFO and Controller in executing on key initiatives as appropriate, including fundraising, M&A processes (financial diligence and integration), and ERP implementation

You will be a match if:

• 8+ years of accounting experience, including 4+ years leading revenue accounting operations at a high growth technology company
• Experience with financial statement audits over revenue, delivering clean audit results
• Experience implementing major accounting systems (e.g. ERP, internal or external billing system)

Nice to have:

• Direct experience with Stripe, Google, and/or Apple revenue reporting and reconciliation
