About Charlie Xu

Revenue accounting leader focused on transformation, automation, and scalable finance operations. I specialize in complex ASC 606 environments, partnering cross-functionally to drive clarity across multi-element arrangements, contract structuring, and revenue systems.At Axon, I lead initiatives that modernize the revenue function—integrating data, systems, and AI-driven workflows to improve speed, accuracy, and decision-making. I’m particularly interested in how emerging tools (e.g, AI copilots, workflow automation, and LLM-enabled contract analysis) can elevate controllership from a compliance function to a strategic partner.Prior to Axon, I spent 10+ years at Deloitte across audit and advisory, including a rotation in the National Office focused on technical accounting and SEC reporting. That foundation continues to shape how I approach complex transactions with both rigor and practicality.
