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

We're looking for a Revenue Accountant who is excited to own revenue recognition, using next-gen accounting tooling to build the processes and ASC 606 conclusions in an evolving consumption-based pricing model. You'll be part of a modern, AI-forward accounting team where revenue keeps pace with Clay's growth.

Revenue Accounting
  • Support revenue recognition under ASC 606, with a strong focus on consumption-based models and new revenue streams as Clay's business evolves

  • Execute month-end close activities including journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis to support leadership reporting

Systems & Technical Accounting

  • Contribute to revenue systems implementation and related process design as we scale our financial infrastructure, including mapping the chart of accounts and revenue rules to the new GL
  • Support the company's first-year financial audit - preparing schedules, documentation, and responding to auditor requests
  • Look for opportunities to apply AI and modern tooling to streamline revenue accounting and close workflows


What You'll Bring
  • 5-8 years of progressive accounting experience with meaningful exposure to revenue accounting; Big Four or public accounting / audit experience a plus
  • Active CPA required
  • Solid knowledge of ASC 606 and US GAAP revenue principles, including consumption-based revenue models
  • Data fluent, you are comfortable working with large datasets to diagnose revenue issues; SQL is a strong plus
  • Excellent written communication, you are equally clear explaining a revenue position to an auditor or a business partner
  • Proven track record of finding creative ways to automate and streamline processes, whether through a revenue system implementation, AI tooling, or workflow automation


Nice to Haves
  • Experience at a high-growth startup
