Your Impact

As Axon’s Senior Manager, Accounting Compliance – Receivables & Reserves, you will serve as the company’s accounting leader for Accounts Receivable and related reserves (bad debt, concessions, CECL), Contract Asset and Contract Liability. This role is focused on technical accounting, compliance, controls, and reporting — not day-to-day billing or collections operations.

You will own reconciliations, reserves methodology, balance sheet flux analysis, policy documentation, audit support, compliance monitoring, and cross-functional governance. You’ll partner across the business to ensure systems, processes, and financial reporting align with U.S. GAAP, SEC requirements, Axon-specific accounting policies, and our internal control environment. Your work ensures transparency, accuracy, and audit readiness in financial statements and provides leadership with actionable insights into receivable trends, risks, and compliance.
