Senior Manager Revenue Accouting

Help make the world more hospitable

The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences.

You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you’ll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we’re building.

If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here.

About the role

Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

You’ll own the technical accounting behind how Mews recognises revenue across SaaS, fintech and financial services, and set the standard the wider finance team works to. This role exists because our revenue streams are getting more varied, and every new product, pricing model or payment flow needs a clear, controlled accounting answer before it goes live. You’ll make those calls across all Mews entities and geographies, with the autonomy to shape how it’s done.

Part 1: You’ll lead revenue accounting close, reconciliations and technical conclusions, and manage two revenue accounting team members. You’ll work day to day with Product, Payments, Engineering, Billing and Finance Systems.

Part 2: Each revenue stream brings its own recognition questions under US GAAP and IFRS. The problem this role solves is keeping those answers consistent, documented and audit-ready as the business grows, and keeping the close accurate while it does.

What you would do

• Own the application of ASC 606 and IFRS 15 across the organisation, including principal-versus-agent, multiple-element arrangements and variable consideration, and set the revenue recognition policies that follow from it.
• Lead month-end and quarter-end revenue close, including reconciliations of revenue, receivables, deferred revenue and contract balances, and review adjustments within delegated authority.
• Evaluate new products, pricing changes and commercial arrangements before launch, so the accounting is designed in from the start rather than fixed afterwards.
• Build and strengthen revenue controls and SOX readiness, from source and billing systems through to the general ledger, and lead audit requests and remediation.
• Lead, coach and develop two revenue accounting team members, and drive close automation with BlackLine and controlled, AI-enabled validation of revenue data with proper review and audit trails.

AI Fluency Level 4: This is an AI Fluency Level 4 role, which means you’d build AI-powered systems rather than only using AI in your own work. In practice, that could mean designing an AI-enabled validation layer that checks revenue data against contracts and billing records, with the review steps and audit trail a controlled close needs. For more information on AI fluency at Mews, please refer to“AI Fluency at Mews: A Comprehensive Guide for Candidates”on Confluence.

What you would bring

• 8+ years of progressive accounting experience, including substantial revenue accounting and at least 2 years of people management.
• Advanced knowledge of ASC 606 and IFRS 15, including principal-versus-agent assessments, multiple-element arrangements and variable consideration.
• Experience with SaaS, fintech, financial services, payment or transaction-based revenue models, ideally across multiple entities or markets.
• Hands-on experience with revenue close, reconciliations, technical memoranda and audit-ready support, plus a strong grasp of internal controls, SOX readiness and remediation.
• AI Fluency Level 4: you have built AI-powered tools or systems that others use, not just used AI in your own workflow.

Nice to have

• CPA, ACCA, ACA or an equivalent accountancy qualification.
• Familiarity with BlackLine or similar reconciliation systems, and Jira or comparable issue-tracking tools.

To be eligible for this position, you must be based in one of the following US states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin.

Life at Mews

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We value teams that reflect the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Different perspectives make better ideas, stronger products and a more welcoming company.

We also believe transparency is important when deciding if you're the right fit. Mews is an ambitious, high-pressure environment of continuous learning and high standards. Success here requires resilience, adaptability and a willingness to solve difficult problems.

A few things that define how we work:

• High autonomy means high responsibility. People are expected to take ownership and drive outcomes. There isn’t a detailed playbook for everything, and that’s part of what makes the work challenging – and rewarding.
• Change is constant. We’re growing quickly and adapting as we scale. Teams, processes and priorities continue to evolve, and only people who stay curious and agile will thrive.
• We’re remote-first, not relationship-free. Flexibility is core to how we work, but strong relationships still matter. Our teams are global, so we need expert collaborators and communicators to help us move forward together.
• AI is an integral part of our processes. It’s not here to steal people’s jobs, but to amplify efficiency and productivity. We’re motivated to proactively use the technology to seek out better ways of working and share our findings with the rest of the company.

If there's anything we can do to support you during the application process, let us know.

We don't discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or any other protected characteristic.

One final thing: don't hold back. If you don't meet 100% of the criteria in this job description but you're certain you could make a big impact, apply. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, and we're committed to providing an inclusive experience.

If Mews sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
