The Role

Block's Product Accounting team sits within the broader Finance organization and is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and compliance of revenue recognition across Block's product lines. This team partners closely with F&S, Operations, and other sub-Accounting teams to deliver a complete picture of hardware financial performance — from the top line down to gross margin. As our Senior Revenue Accountant, you will be the subject matter expert on hardware revenue, owning the full recognition lifecycle under ASC 606 while also contributing to cost accounting processes that drive visibility into hardware margin — directly influencing how leadership understands and acts on the performance of our hardware business.

• Own end-to-end revenue recognition for hardware product lines in accordance with ASC 606, operating with a high degree of independence
• Review and interpret customer contracts to identify performance obligations, transaction prices, and appropriate recognition timing
• Prepare and record monthly revenue journal entries, deferred revenue schedules, and related balance sheet reconciliations
• Partner and work with the Cost Accounting team to track COGS and hardware margins, ensuring accurate cost-to-revenue matching and supporting gross margin reporting
• Analyze hardware gross margin trends and deliver clear, well-supported variance explanations to F&S
• Drive month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities for hardware revenue and related cost areas with a focus on accuracy and timeliness
• Collaborate with Sales, Deal Desk, and Legal to review non-standard arrangements and assess revenue accounting impact
• Prepare audit schedules and serve as a point of contact for external auditor inquiries related to hardware revenue and cost
• Proactively identify and lead process improvement initiatives to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of the revenue close cycle
• Support system enhancements and implementations related to revenue or cost accounting tools

You Have

• 4+ years of progressive accounting experience with a strong focus on revenue recognition
• Deep working knowledge of ASC 606 and its application to hardware or product-based revenue streams
• Familiarity with cost accounting concepts including COGS, inventory valuation, and gross margin analysis
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Strong communication skills — able to translate complex accounting topics clearly for non-accounting stakeholders
• Experience with Oracle or similar ERP systems
• Experience at a hardware, consumer electronics, or technology company preferred

Nice to Have

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
