Revenue Accountant @ Clay

Clay is in hypergrowth mode and building the financial infrastructure to match. This role is foundational on the Accounting team and offers an opportunity to shape our order‑to‑cash process, ensure accurate revenue recognition, and build scalable financial workflows.

• 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

• 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

• 4–6 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

• 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
