About the Team
As Canva continues to rapidly grow and expand its product offerings, the Revenue Accounting function plays a critical role in navigating increasingly complex revenue models across both self-serve (B2C) and enterprise (B2B) channels. The Revenue Accounting team partners closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure scalable, compliant revenue frameworks that support new product launches, contract structures, and global expansion.
What you’d be doing in this role
As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve. We are looking for a Technical Revenue Accounting Senior Manager who is highly motivated to solve complex accounting challenges and support innovative monetization strategies. The successful candidate will be a strong collaborator, partnering with finance, product, legal, and commercial teams to ensure revenue is recognized appropriately across a wide range of offerings and channels. You will lead technical assessments, evaluate new products and contract structures, and establish accounting policies and positions.
What you'll do:
- Provide technical revenue accounting guidance across B2C and B2B revenue streams, including new product launches, enterprise agreements, and evolving monetization models
- Review customer contracts and product offerings to determine appropriate revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Legal, Deal Desk, Revenue Operations, and FP&A to assess revenue implications of new features, bundles, and go-to-market strategies
- Lead technical accounting research and document positions on complex revenue topics, including multi-element arrangements, variable consideration, and standalone selling price
- Establish and maintain revenue accounting policies and influence scalable processes and controls across the quote-to-cash lifecycle
You're probably a match if:
- You have a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field; CPA preferred
- You have deep technical expertise in revenue recognition under ASC 606 (US GAAP), across both high-volume B2C and complex B2B arrangements
- You have experience with technical accounting research, policy development, and supporting new product or pricing initiatives
- You bring experience in a public company or SOX-compliant environment; SaaS or technology industry experience preferred
- You are an effective communicator with strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to navigate ambiguity and drive practical solutions in a fast-paced environment
