Revenue Accountant @ Clay

Clay is in hypergrowth mode, and we're building the financial infrastructure to match. This is a foundational hire on the Accounting team — an opportunity to get in early, shape how we operate, and grow alongside the business.

We're looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Revenue Accountant to support our billing operations and revenue accounting function. You'll play a critical role in scaling our order-to-cash process, ensuring revenue is accurately recognized, and contributing to automation across our financial workflows. If you thrive in fast-moving environments and want to be part of building something that scales, this role is for you.

Billing & Order-to-Cash

• Execute end-to-end billing operations including invoice generation, collections, cash application, and AR management
• Support the full order-to-cash cycle, partnering with Deal Desk to ensure contracts and amendments are accurately reflected in billing systems
• Reconcile customer credit consumption and prepaid balances across systems (Stripe, CPQ, and GL) to ensure accuracy and completeness
• Maintain accurate customer billing data and develop process documentation to support a scalable, well-controlled billing environment
• Contribute to automation of billing workflows using AI and modern tooling to build smarter, more scalable processes
• Handle customer billing inquiries through our AR inbox, resolving issues with speed and professionalism using ticketing and automation tools
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales, CS, and Engineering to resolve billing discrepancies and improve upstream data quality

Revenue Accounting

• Support revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, with a strong focus on consumption based revenue recognition
• Prepare and maintain deferred and unbilled revenue schedules, ensuring accurate balance sheet presentation each period
• Execute month-end close activities including journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis to support leadership reporting
• Support audit readiness and assist with the company's first-year financial audit, including preparing schedules, documentation, and responding to auditor requests
• Contribute to revenue systems implementations and process design as we scale our financial infrastructure

What You'll Bring

• 5-8 years of progressive accounting experience with meaningful exposure to both billing operations and revenue accounting
• Active CPA required
• Proven track record of finding creative ways to automate and streamline processes — whether through a billing or revenue systems implementation, AI tooling, or workflow automation
• Solid knowledge of ASC 606 and US GAAP revenue principles, including consumption based revenue models
• Hands-on experience with billing and payment systems (Stripe experience strongly preferred)
• Data fluency — comfortable working with large datasets and using data to diagnose billing and revenue issues; SQL skills are a strong plus
• Excellent written communication skills — you can explain a billing discrepancy to a customer as clearly as you can explain it to an auditor

Nice to Haves

• Big Four or public accounting background strongly preferred
• Experience at a high-growth SaaS startup
• Experience with customer support tooling (Zendesk, Intercom, or similar)
• Experience with CPQ and CRM tools
