About the role:

Higgsfield AI is seeking a Head of Revenue Accounting to own revenue recognition and the order-to-cash lifecycle end to end.

This is a highly hands-on role supporting a high-volume, consumption-based business with a credit-driven revenue model. You will own the accounting judgments, systems, processes, and controls that support revenue across self-serve, enterprise, platform, and partnership motions.

This is a builder role. You will have the opportunity to establish and scale processes that are still evolving, reduce manual workflows, strengthen our financial controls, and build the infrastructure required to support Higgsfield's continued hypergrowth.

What You'll Do:

Own Revenue Recognition

• Own the monthly revenue close across Higgsfield's consumption and credit-based revenue model, including credit grants, consumption, breakage, unused balances, refunds, and chargebacks.

• Maintain and evolve Higgsfield's revenue recognition policies under ASC 606, including judgments around performance obligations, promotional and grace-period credits, variable consideration, and material rights.

• Review non-standard commercial arrangements across enterprise, reseller, platform, and strategic partnership deals and determine the appropriate accounting treatment.

• Evaluate complex revenue considerations including principal-versus-agent conclusions and other technical accounting matters.

Lead Order-to-Cash Operations

• Own the order-to-cash lifecycle end to end, including order capture, billing, invoicing, cash application, collections, disputes, and revenue reporting.

• Manage billing across self-serve and enterprise business models, including usage-based billing, post-paid overages, and true-ups.

• Own accounts receivable operations, including aging, collections cadence, reserve methodology, and write-off processes.

• Design, document, and continuously improve order-to-cash workflows, controls, and segregation of duties.

Build Scalable Revenue Systems

• Own the revenue automation and reconciliation environment, including HubiFi and the audit trail from financial reporting down to the underlying transaction.

• Own revenue-related Stripe processes, including payouts, fees, settlement timing, and reconciliation of gross transaction activity to cash received.

• Partner closely with Engineering and Data to ensure the completeness, quality, and reliability of usage and credit-consumption data supporting revenue recognition.

• Drive automation across the revenue close and systematically reduce reliance on manual spreadsheets.

Drive Close, Reconciliation, and Controls

• Own revenue and AR balance sheet reconciliations, including bookings-to-cash analysis and proof-of-cash processes.

• Own the revenue portion of the close calendar and identify opportunities to shorten close timelines while maintaining accuracy and control.

• Build revenue reporting and analytics for Finance leadership and other key stakeholders.

• Establish scalable controls and documentation to support a growing and increasingly complex business.

Support Audit Readiness

• Serve as the primary Finance point of contact for external auditors on revenue recognition and order-to-cash processes.

• Prepare audit support, walkthroughs, reconciliations, process narratives, and other PBC materials.

• Help strengthen revenue processes and controls as Higgsfield continues to scale and prepares for increasing audit and reporting requirements.

Requirements:

• 6+ years of accounting experience with meaningful depth in revenue accounting.

• Strong practical knowledge of ASC 606, including complex judgment areas such as variable consideration, breakage, principal versus agent, and material rights.

• Hands-on experience owning revenue accounting in a high-volume environment involving usage-based, consumption-based, credit-based, or scaled subscription revenue.

• Demonstrated experience owning order-to-cash processes, including billing and accounts receivable.

• Experience working directly with payment platforms and reconciling transaction activity, fees, settlements, and payouts to cash; Stripe experience is strongly preferred.

• Experience configuring or administering revenue automation or subscription billing systems such as HubiFi, Zuora, NetSuite ARM, RevPro, Maxio, or similar.

• Strong analytical skills and comfort working directly with transaction-level data to independently investigate and validate financial activity.

• Advanced Excel skills; SQL experience is a strong plus.

• Ability to operate effectively in a high-growth environment where processes and systems are still being built.

• Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to partner effectively with Finance, Engineering, Data, and other teams.

Nice to Have:

• CPA.

• Big 4 or national accounting firm experience.

• Experience supporting an IPO, audit-readiness process, or similarly scaled financial environment.

• NetSuite experience.

• Exposure to multi-entity, multi-currency, or intercompany revenue flows.

• Experience building accounting processes from the ground up in a startup or high-growth environment.
