You Are

You are someone who finds satisfaction in getting the numbers right, not just close, but right, especially when the contracts are messy and the revenue streams do not fit neatly into a template. You have spent enough time in revenue accounting to know that ASC 606 is not just a compliance checkbox, it is a lens through which you interpret every deal structure, every royalty clause, every non-standard term that Sales dreams up.

You do not wait for perfect information. When a contract lands on your desk with ambiguous language or a new pricing model, you dig in, ask the right questions, and figure out how it maps to the accounting. You are comfortable in SAP or RAR, and Excel is where you do your thinking, not just your reporting. Month-end close does not rattle you. You know what needs to happen, you keep your reconciliations clean, and you do not let things slip through.

You care about process. Not bureaucracy, but actual improvement. If something takes five steps when it should take two, you notice, and you speak up. At Synopsys, you will work on royalty accounting for a global business, collaborate with technical teams exploring automation and AI in accounting workflows, and be part of a finance team that values precision and progress in equal measure.

What You'll Be Doing

• Manage month-end revenue close activities for royalties, reviewing non-routine transactions and performing accounting assessments under ASC 606
• Prepare journal entries, reconciliations, disclosures, and supporting documentation for royalty and related revenue accounts
• Perform monthly balance sheet reconciliations for revenue-related accounts in accordance with GAAP
• Support ad hoc revenue and billing analyses that inform business decisions and surface trends
• Work closely with the technical support team on automation initiatives, including royalty accounting tools and AI-driven process improvements
• Maintain internal control documentation and contribute to process enhancements that reduce manual effort and increase accuracy
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales Operations, Legal, and FP&A to align revenue practices with business objectives and drive best practices

The Impact You Will Have

• Ensure accurate and timely revenue recognition that supports Synopsys's financial integrity and external reporting
• Deliver insights from revenue and billing analyses that inform pricing, contract structure, and business strategy
• Strengthen compliance and internal controls, reducing audit risk and catching errors before they become issues
• Drive automation and AI initiatives that streamline royalty accounting processes and free up time for higher-value work
• Support successful audits by maintaining transparent, well-documented processes and reconciliations
• Foster collaboration across finance, sales, and legal teams to resolve complex revenue recognition questions quickly
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement where process efficiency and accuracy are equally valued

What You'll Need

• CA qualification and a bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 2-4 years of experience in revenue accounting for software or cloud-based offerings
• Strong working knowledge of ASC 606 and its application to complex contract terms, royalties, and software revenue streams
• Proficiency with SAP/RAR or Alliant and other ASC 606 revenue recognition tools
• Advanced Excel skills for financial modeling, data analysis, and reconciliation work
• Ability to work flexible hours, including swing shift or PST hours, to support global close cycles and cross-functional collaboration
• Clear communication skills and the ability to explain complex accounting treatments to non-finance stakeholders

Who You Are

• You can read a contract and spot the revenue recognition implications before anyone asks
• You are comfortable working across teams, building relationships with Sales Ops, Legal, and technical teams without needing a formal introduction
• Deadlines do not fluster you. You know how to prioritize when three things need to happen at once, and you do not drop the ball
• You are curious about automation and AI, not as buzzwords, but as tools that can actually make accounting work faster and cleaner
• You hold yourself to high standards of accuracy and integrity, and you do not cut corners when it comes to compliance or documentation
• You are always learning. Whether it is a new revenue model, a technical tool, or a process improvement, you lean in rather than wait to be trained

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the COE finance organization in Bangalore, a team focused on revenue accounting, compliance, and process improvements. You will work alongside talented professionals who support Synopsys's global business objectives, collaborating with colleagues across time zones to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting. The team values operational excellence, continuous learning, and mutual support, and your contributions will have a direct impact on the company's financial integrity and success.
