Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Revenue Solutions, Inc. (RSI) provides customizable government solutions that improve citizen services, operational efficiency, revenue collection, and compliance. The Accountant, internally titled Accountant, Sr. Associate, owns portions of the monthly close, balance sheet reconciliations, technical accounting documentation, and revenue recognition processes. The role also supports audit readiness, process improvement, transactional accounting, and cross-coverage across the accounting function.
Responsibilities
- Prepare and post journal entries, accruals, and recurring entries as part of the monthly close calendar, with clear support attached to each entry
- Own assigned balance sheet account reconciliations — including cash, prepaids, accrued liabilities, and intercompany balances — ensuring each is complete, properly supported, and reviewed on schedule
- Research, age, and clear reconciling items rather than carrying them forward; escalate aged or unusual items with a recommended resolution
- Build and maintain reconciliation templates and close schedules that meet audit-ready standards and can be picked up by someone else without explanation
- Self-review work before submission to the Accounting Manager, applying a tie-out and sign-off discipline
- Meet assigned close deadlines and flag risks to the close timeline early
- Own the technical accounting documentation supporting revenue recognition, including ASC 606 contract assessments, five-step analyses, and position memos
- Review executed contracts, change orders, and modifications for terms affecting revenue recognition — performance obligations, variable consideration, claims, contract combinations — and document the resulting accounting conclusion
- Review the monthly WIP schedule for consistency with documented policy and contract terms; flag exceptions and unusual estimate changes for resolution
- Reconcile recognized revenue to contract terms, billings, and cash receipts; investigate and resolve variances
- Maintain contract files and revenue recognition policy documentation as standing audit-ready support
- Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors on revenue recognition documentation and testing in assigned areas
- Serve as backup for preparation of the monthly WIP schedule and revenue recognition entries during absences or peak periods
- Document accounting processes, reconciliation procedures, and close steps in written narratives that can be handed off or audited
- Identify gaps between current practice and what good looks like, and propose practical improvements with an eye toward controls and scalability
- Help implement and maintain accounting systems and processes; support system enhancements and adoption
- Assist with AP, AR, and payroll functions, including generation of related documents and reporting
- Cross-train with the team across close, reconciliation, revenue, and transactional functions, and provide full backup coverage as needed
- Maintain current desk procedures for owned functions so responsibilities can be transitioned or covered without disruption
- Communicate with other departments, customers, vendors, and outside resources to resolve accounting questions
- Support billing and collections activity as needed
- Follow all RSI security policies and procedures
- Protect sensitive, confidential, and regulated data (including FTI, PII, and client data)
- Report suspected security incidents immediately
- Complete required security awareness training annually

- Demonstrated command of what a strong close and reconciliation process looks like, with the ability to raise the standard in a less mature environment
- Proven experience owning balance sheet reconciliations end to end, including researching and clearing aged items independently
- Working knowledge of ASC 606, including the ability to read a contract, assess its revenue implications, and document the conclusion in a defensible memo
- Strong documentation skills — able to produce workpapers, process narratives, and technical memos that stand up to auditor review
- Working understanding of accrual accounting and how the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement interrelate
- Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, large data sets) and comfort learning new accounting systems
- Willingness to work flexibly across accounting functions and provide coverage for teammates
- Able to explain technical accounting matters clearly to people outside of accounting
- Able to work independently on assigned areas, with the judgment to know what to resolve and what to escalate
- Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage competing close deadlines
