About the Opportunity:
MarketOnce is hiring a Lead Accountant, Revenue & Billing to support accounting operations across MarketOnce and its companies, eAccountable and ROI Rocket, with primary ownership of customer invoicing and revenue. This senior individual contributor leads accounting for a high-volume, multi-entity billing operation that processes hundreds of invoices each month, including key enterprise clients who expect exceptional accuracy and professionalism.
This is a hands-on role with a broad accounting scope. Most of your time will go to preparing, reviewing and posting invoices, and you will also handle account reconciliations, month-end close entries and reporting. You will apply sound revenue recognition to our agency and research engagements, including pass-through costs, and improve and document a manual, multi-step invoicing workflow that involves several contributors across the business.
Working with minimal supervision, you will partner with senior executives and finance leadership to keep billing accurate, resolve problems at the source and provide reliable revenue data, reconciliations and projections. The ideal candidate is a well-rounded accountant who is comfortable with high transaction volume, precise with details and motivated to make processes better.
