Revenue Analyst

A revenue analyst is a special type of accountant who keeps track of a company's revenue and looks for ways to improve it. This analysis is multifaceted. The revenue analyst tracks revenue over time and determines the direction of the trend. He determines how a company's revenue compares to competitors in the industry. The analyst breaks down revenue by individual product and service and determines which goods are making the company money and which are not. He matches revenues to expenses for each business segment to determine the relative profitability of each segment. A revenue analyst must possess an almost preternatural attention to detail and be highly accurate with his work.

Revenue analysts are responsible for taking large sets of numerical data and extracting from them valuable information about the company's revenue that management can use to make business decisions. The amount of specialization for a revenue analyst varies from position to position, with large companies often employing more specialized analysts and smaller companies hiring fewer analysts but training them on the entire breadth of the field.

Some revenue analysts take a micro approach to analyzing data. In other words, they draw conclusions from examining strictly company data. Their reports are mínimally influenced by external forces or broader economic data. For this type of revenue analyst, common job duties include matching revenues to expenses for various business segments; tracking the revenues of a company product or service, or for the company as a whole, over time and charting the trend; and brainstorming potential ways to increase revenue without affecting a concomitant increase in expenses.
