With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Revenue Accountant to be responsible for timely and accurate revenue recognition. This role will work on all aspects of the revenue accounting process to ensure accurate and complete financial information. This includes, but is not limited to, sales contract review for revenue implications and executing month-end and year-end close activities. In addition, this position will require impeccable attention to detail and the ability to deliver results under deadlines. You will maintain best-in-class processes and controls to support the seamless execution of our revenue recognition activities. You’ll support the design of automated solutions to further scale and streamline revenue processes. 

This is a full-time position based in our Bengaluru, India office. During the month-end close period (first five business days of the month) and during the initial onboarding period (typically 3 months), the role will primarily work U.S. business hours in a remote capacity to support close collaboration with the team. As the individual gains proficiency and autonomy in the role, the position will transition to a hybrid, in-office schedule in Bengaluru, working standard IST hours aside from the recurring month-end close period. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.

Additionally, you must be able to work US hours for the first 90 days and during month end close period.
