Technical Accountant (ASC 606/842)

Drafts revenue and lease accounting memos for your controller and auditors

The Technical Accountant researches accounting questions under US GAAP — revenue recognition (ASC 606), leases (ASC 842), stock compensation and the like — and drafts position memos, contract reviews and supporting schedules.

The controller and CFO decide the accounting policy; your external auditor forms its own opinion. The role drafts and explains; it never signs, never attests and never issues an audit opinion.
