3P Revenue Accounting & Reporting

About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Manager, 3P Revenue Accounting & Reporting to join our Accounting team. You will own revenue recognition, month-end close and reporting for Claude sold through our cloud service provider (CSP) channels: AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI and Microsoft Azure Marketplace. These channels are among the fastest-growing revenue streams at the company. They run on consumption-based, partner-reported data that changes every month.

You will be the accounting point of contact for the finance and partner teams at AWS, Google and Microsoft. Internally, you will partner with Finance, FAB, Engineering and business teams to turn partner billing feeds into accurate, auditable revenue. You will also lead the automation of a close that is still heavily manual. If you want to build the financial infrastructure behind a fast-growing AI company, come join us in our mission to build safe, beneficial AI.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the revenue close for cloud service provider Marketplace within a listed company timeline.

• Prepare and review revenue, revenue-share, reserve journal entries, accruals and true-ups including memos for accounting assessments and judgments.

• Own balance sheet reconciliations, reserves, and the usage-to-invoice-to-cash bridge.

• Perform monthly and quarterly flux analysis and prepare flux decks for leadership.

• Own quarter-end deliverables, including footnote disclosures, flux commentary and presentations to leadership and Corporate Accounting.

• Serve as the primary contact for external auditors.

• Review the work of accountants and contractors, set the close calendar, and keep close packages complete and audit-ready.

• Own monthly and quarterly 3P revenue reporting for leadership and FP&A, by partner, model, product, region and customer.

• Review partner usage, invoice, disbursement and fraud reports each month, and resolve data issues before close.

• Serve as the accounting point of contact for the finance, engineering and product teams and drive reporting improvements that support an on-time close.

• Apply ASC 606 to 3P arrangements, including principal-vs-agent, variable consideration and reseller arrangements.

• Estimate and document reserves, including credit loss (ASC 326).

• Assess the accounting for new 3P products, programs and billing changes, partnering with Technical Accounting on complex judgments.

• Partner with the Engineering teams to automate manual close processes, including SQL-driven workbooks, automated reconciliations and system-generated journal entries.

• Own 3P SOX controls, including design, documentation, gap remediation and audit evidence.

• Partner with FP&A, Treasury, AR and business teams on forecasts, cash and partner disputes.

Minimum qualifications

• Have strong ASC 606 knowledge, especially principal-vs-agent, variable consideration, consideration payable to a customer, and consumption-based revenue.

• Have owned a month-end close with tight deadlines and reviewed journal entries, reconciliations and flux analysis.

• Have built revenue reporting from large, imperfect third-party data sets and reconciled it to the general ledger.

• Have managed external partner relationships where you depended on their data, and pushed for fixes.

• Have strong SQL skills (BigQuery or similar) and experience automating close workbooks or reconciliations.

• Have designed or operated SOX controls and supported external audits.

• Communicate clearly with accounting, finance, business and engineering teams.

• Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where processes are still being built.

Preferred qualifications

• Have 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 3+ years managing revenue accounting or close teams.

• A Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or equivalent (ACA, ACCA).

• Big 4 audit experience combined with industry experience at a high-growth tech or SaaS company.

• Hands-on experience with Workday Financials, NetSuite, Numeric, Hex or similar close and reporting tools.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.  Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
