Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon, we're on a mission to Protect Life. We're explorers, pursuing society's most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

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.
