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. As AI makes execution faster and tactics easier to copy, creativity is the only lasting advantage. We're already helping thousands of customers — including Anthropic, Notion, Google, and Ramp — go to market with unique data, signals, and AI research.

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.

• Our operating principles — including negative maintenance and non-attached action — guide our work. Read more about them here.

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.

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
