2014-2 - 2017-2 · 3 yrs 1 mo

After a year as a Sr. Revenue Accountant, I was promoted to Revenue Manager. I continued to be responsible for ensuring that all of the company's advertising revenue is accounted for properly under ASC 605-25 and all other applicable accounting guidance. I was also a key finance stakeholder in various system projects and process improvement initiatives across the company. These projects included the implementation of a new order management system, the design of SOX controls for an in-house developed ad server, new products and lines of business, international expansions, and acquisitions. I also streamlined the Company’s monthly and quarter revenue close process while reducing the close by one day and spearheaded efforts to improve the order approval process by implementing an automated workflow in Salesforce. Additionally, I led the Company's ASC 606 transition, assessing the impact of the new standard and ensuring that all necessary data and system updates were in place.
