• Support commission calculations for NetBrain's channel and reseller partner deals in addition to direct sales.
• Drive automation and initiatives to reduce the monthly closing cycle.
• Reconcile monthly commission payments to the payroll register.
• Monitor the Commissions inbox and respond to commission questions in a timely manner.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with all departments, especially Sales and Revenue Ops.
• Produce ad hoc reports, reconciliations, and analyses as needed, including reviewing deal terms, reviewing commissions calculations, measuring performance against sales quotas, and ensuring commissions are paid timely and in accordance with plan provisions.
• Support financial audit related to accrued commission and deferred contract costs.
• Manage customer collections, proactively communicate with customers and sales, and manage the Accounts Receivable email inbox.
