About Clay
Our mission is to help organizations turn any growth idea into reality.
We see growth as a creative practice, not a formula. Finding and reaching your best-fit customers takes unique ideas and constant iteration.

In 2025, we raised a $100M Series C backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, CapitalG, and First Round — and crossed $100M in revenue.
In 2026, we announced our second employee tender offer in 9 months at a new $5B valuation. We also launched a community equity round, for our customers, agency partners, and club members.
Some things to know about us:
Our community includes 11,000+ customers, 150+ integration partners, 125+ agencies, 50+ Clay clubs, and 30k members on Slack.
Our culture is unique inside and outside of work. Our team members are also DJs, activists, writers, clowns, marathoners, skydivers, psychedelic therapists, social workers, and more.
All employees can work for free with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity, management, and more.

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.
What You'll Do
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
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
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
