At Vanta, we’re scaling fast—and we’re building a finance team that can scale with us. As we grow and evolve, we’re tackling increasingly complex and exciting accounting challenges. If you’re a detail-oriented, systems-savvy accounting professional who thrives in dynamic environments and wants to help shape the future of a rapidly growing company, we’d love to meet you.

As our Senior Revenue Accountant, you'll play a critical role in both the accuracy of our financials and the evolution of our accounting operations. You’ll own some of the most complex and high-judgment areas of our close, like revenue reconciliations, revenue reporting, and commission deferrals and accruals, while also reviewing lower-risk areas such as cash payout postings to ensure completeness and accuracy.

But that’s just part of the job.

Beyond close, you’ll help identify inefficiencies, build automation, and implement scalable processes that support our next phase of growth. You'll work cross-functionally with FP&A, Engineering, Billing Operations, Deal Desk and Business Systems teams, helping to bridge accounting rigor with operational excellence.

What you’ll do as a Senior Revenue Accountant at Vanta:

• Prepare journal entries and reconciliations for various accounting areas including but not limited to:

  • Commission accruals and deferrals - prepare the accrual, capitalization and amortization of commissions and other contract costs.

  • Revenue contract review - ensure the accurate review and documentation of non-standard contract language.

  • Revenue reconciliations - ensure revenue impacts on contract amendments and modifications are accurate and ready to be posted for the month.

• Take on new accounting areas as the business scales

• Maintain and reconcile general ledger accounts, ensuring all entries are appropriately supported and in line with GAAP.

• Prepare documentation and support for internal and external audits.

• Assist with implementing and optimizing accounting systems and tools to drive efficiency.

• Develop and maintain ad-hoc revenue reporting.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with FP&A, Legal, and People teams to support business initiatives and ensure accounting impacts are considered.

How to be successful in this role:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA or CPA track strongly preferred.

• 4–7 years of progressive accounting experience; combination of public accounting and private industry is a plus.

• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP, particularly revenue accounting (ASC 606), contract cost accounting (ASC 340)

• Experience working in a high-growth or fast-paced environment.

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and adapt to shifting business needs.

• Strong attention to detail, analytical skills, and comfort working in systems such as NetSuite, or similar ERP platforms.

• Self-starter with a collaborative mindset and strong communication skills.

• Experience with close management tools, including optimization efforts
