Job Description

About Us:

At Fireworks, we’re building the future of generative AI infrastructure. Our platform delivers the highest-quality models with the fastest and most scalable inference in the industry. We’ve been independently benchmarked as the leader in LLM inference speed and are driving cutting-edge innovation through projects like our own function calling and multimodal models. Fireworks is a Series C company valued at $4 billion and backed by top investors including Benchmark, Sequoia, Lightspeed, Index, and Evantic. We’re an ambitious, collaborative team of builders, founded by veterans of Meta PyTorch and Google Vertex AI.

The Role

We are hiring a Financial Reporting Manager to own technical accounting, revenue recognition, and external financial reporting for Fireworks AI. ASC 606, ASC 808,ASC350, ASC842 and related experience is preferred.

This is not a maintenance role. You will be building frameworks from the ground up: establishing revenue recognition policies, drafting technical accounting memos for novel deal structures, partnering with Legal and BizOps to shape contract terms before they are signed, and working with Engineering to ensure the billing and data infrastructure produces audit-ready outputs. You will report to the Head of Finance and Operations and work closely with external auditors and tax advisors.

What You'll Do

Technical Accounting & Policy

Serve as the primary technical accounting owner for Fireworks AI — establishing and maintaining revenue recognition policies, preparing accounting position memos, and providing real-time guidance on complex and novel transactions.
Analyze new commercial arrangements under ASC 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) across the full five-step model
Lead ASC 808 (Collaborative Arrangements) analysis for strategic partnerships that contain elements of both customer-vendor and collaborative relationships
Lead the draft of technical accounting memos for significant arrangements.
Monitor and implement new accounting standards and ASU updates relevant to the business (e.g., updates to digital asset accounting, SaaS arrangement guidance, or changes to collaborative arrangement standards).

Revenue Recognition Operations

Build and own the end-to-end revenue recognition process
Establish the revenue recognition sub-ledger and ensure it reconciles to the general ledger (currently QuickBooks, with a potential migration to NetSuite) at the transaction level every month-end.
Own the monthly revenue close process — preparing revenue journal entries, flux analysis, and management reporting with variance commentary by revenue stream, customer cohort, and contract type.
Build contract-level P&L visibility for strategic partnerships — tracking revenue recognized, costs allocated (including GPU compute costs, cloud infrastructure, and support), and contribution margin by arrangement.

Financial Reporting & Audit Readiness

Prepare GAAP-compliant financial statements and supporting schedules — including revenue disaggregation disclosures (by stream, geography, and recognition timing), deferred revenue rollforwards, and remaining performance obligation (RPO) disclosures.
Build and maintain the audit trail and documentation standards necessary to support external audit — including contract files, revenue recognition conclusions, and calculation workpapers for every material arrangement.
Serve as the primary point of contact for external auditors on revenue recognition, technical accounting positions, and financial statement presentation.
Prepare board and investor reporting packages — including ARR/MRR analytics, revenue bridge analyses, bookings-to-revenue conversion metrics, and cohort-level retention and expansion reporting.
