• Own the monthly revenue recognition process, consolidating and validating data from multiple source systems so revenue is recognised and deferred accurately
• Prepare monthly revenue and deferred revenue journals, ensuring calculations are fully supported and completed within month-end close timelines
• Reconcile revenue calculations, billing systems and PSP platforms such as PayPal and Adyen, resolving discrepancies to protect the completeness and accuracy of reported revenue
• Analyse large, complex revenue datasets across multiple systems and journal postings, turning fragmented outputs into clear, reliable financial insight
• Run and interrogate SQL-based data extracts, using the outputs to support revenue calculations, reconciliations and variance investigations
