We are seeking an experienced ASC 606 Accounting Consultant to develop a comprehensive, searchable reference guide of previously completed revenue recognition analyses and accounting conclusions.

The role will also explore opportunities to leverage AI-enabled search and summarization tools to improve information retrieval and accessibility. The reference guide will serve as a resource to support accounting teams and professional judgment, rather than replace independent technical accounting assessments.
