@aksharpatel
I lead public-company revenue accounting, ASC 606 compliance, and scalable close operations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Quanterix, I lead revenue accounting across product, warranty, licensing, SaaS, laboratory services, grants, and international close operations. I manage a team of five, own revenue SOX/ICFR governance and audits, and partner with FP&A on forecasting and variance analysis.
I've established revenue recognition policy, integrated accounting policies after a merger, built a standalone selling price methodology, and led the revenue workstream for a NetSuite-to-Syteline ERP integration. I remediated a material revenue-control weakness and accelerated month-end close by more than two business days.
Previously at Axon and IQVIA, I led ASC 606 accounting, managed global teams, automated controls and reporting with SQL and Power Query, and supported SEC reporting. My work has reduced close time, strengthened controls, and improved visibility into revenue and balance-sheet performance.
