Revenue and Technical Accounting Manager
Serval
About the role
WHO WE ARE
Serval http://serval.com is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate. We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end — replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software. Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, and Brex to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations.
At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production-grade workflows. Our agents don’t just respond to requests — they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage. What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering.
Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation. Long term, we’re building the universal AI operations layer — a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving.
We’re backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others.
THE MISSION
Every one of those dollars gets invoiced, collected and recognized, and today too much of that runs by hand: revenue entries posted manually, ARR reconciled off a spreadsheet export, collections chased from an inbox.
The role has three parts:
- Revenue accounting. Turn our contracts into accurate, documented, audit-ready revenue, and get the answer right before the close, not after.
- Billing and collections. Own quote-to-cash from signed contract to cash in the bank, so we collect faster as volume and contract complexity grow.
- Systems design. Design and build the automated, agent-driven workflows that read our contracts, generate invoices and draft revenue entries, with people reviewing the judgment calls. This is design work, not just using tools someone else built.
You'll report to Francisco Meyo, VP, Controller, and work closely with our Head of Finance, RevOps, Sales, Legal, Engineering, our accounting systems lead, and our auditors once we engage them.
This is a build role. Our contracts are getting more interesting, not less: multi-year ramps, Fortune 500 paper, and usage-based pricing running side by side with platform fees starting this quarter. You will design how we handle all of it, not inherit a process someone else wrote.
WHO YOU ARE
- Technically strong. You came up through Big 4 audit or advisory, and you can defend a revenue position to an engagement team without flinching.
- Precise about revenue. You keep bookings, billings, ARR, revenue and cash distinct, and you can explain a revenue conclusion to a sales leader in two sentences.
- Upstream, not after the fact. You would rather shape a non-standard term before the contract is signed than clean it up in the GL three months later.
- Cash-obsessed. You care how fast we turn invoices into cash, measured as days sales outstanding (DSO), and you treat it as a number you own. An overdue invoice bothers you until it is paid or you know exactly why it isn't.
- A builder. You have built apps, scripts or automations, or you are eager to build agentic workflows. No coding background required, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Serval runs on Serval, and so will you.
- High ownership, high slope. You see the gap, you propose the fix, you ship it. No task is too small, including the payroll and benefits work nobody else owns yet.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own revenue accounting
- Own the revenue inputs to the monthly, quarterly and year-end close: revenue entries, the revenue waterfall, deferred and unbilled rollforwards, and revenue flux review.
- Review new and amended contracts: identify performance obligations,
