About Us
Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.
We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
We grow together: as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
The Role
Legora is scaling quickly, and we're building a finance function to match. We're looking for a senior Revenue Accounting leader to own revenue recognition and sales commissions accounting end to end, and to build out the team. You'll take a function that has grown fast and make it scalable, well-controlled, and audit-ready.
This is a hands-on management role. You'll set policy and make the judgment calls, and you'll also be close enough to the detail to review contracts, build memos, and coach the team through complex transactions.

Strengthen the internal control environment, including SOX readiness and execution, process documentation and control design
Represent Revenue Accounting with senior stakeholders across Finance, Sales, RevOps, and Legal
Run the monthly and quarterly revenue close: deferred revenue, contract assets, unbilled receivables, deferred commissions, and related reconciliations and flux
Work with FP&A and RevOps on ARR and other key metric definitions, ensuring they reconcile to GAAP revenue and hold up to board and investor scrutiny
Shape revenue and commissions processes in our new ERP and its integration with Salesforce and our billing tools
Strengthen the internal control environment, including SOX readiness and execution, process documentation and control design
What You Bring
10+ years of accounting experience, starting in Big 4 audit or technical accounting
Deep, practical ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 expertise in B2B SaaS, including complex enterprise contracts and commission plan accounting
Track record of building or scaling a revenue accounting function in a high-growth environment
Experience managing and developing a team
Hands-on experience with NetSuite (ARM/revenue modules a plus) and Salesforce
CPA required
Comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and a multi-entity, international structure
Nice to have
Experience at a public company or a company with public-company-level reporting requirements
Experience owning or integrating Billing within quote-to-cash
Experience reconciling non-GAAP metrics such as ARR or TCV to GAAP revenue and capitalized commissions
Exposure to SOX
Experience in AI or legal tech
What’s In It For You

Revenue Accountant Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a revenue accountant in New York?
A bachelor's degree in accounting or finance is the standard starting point for revenue accountant roles in New York. Many employers prefer candidates who have passed the CPA exam or are actively pursuing licensure through the New York State Board of Public Accountancy, which oversees CPA credentials in the state. Large financial services and media firms in New York City frequently recruit directly from accounting programs at schools like NYU Stern, Baruch College, and Fordham.
How much do revenue accountants make in New York?
Revenue accountants in New York earn a median of about $102,640 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,700 for the lowest 10% to over $171,030 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire revenue accountants in New York?
Employers hiring revenue accountants in New York right now include Legora, DDN, and ROGO, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's concentration of financial services headquarters, global media companies, and large technology firms means demand for revenue recognition specialists remains steady throughout the year.
Which New York cities have the most revenue accountant jobs?
New York and Yonkers have the most revenue accountant openings in New York. New York City dominates because it is home to the headquarters of major financial institutions, media conglomerates, and professional services firms that maintain large accounting teams, while suburban markets like White Plains and Melville reflect the presence of regional corporate offices and mid-sized businesses that also hire for this role.
Are there remote revenue accountant jobs in New York?

About 80% of revenue accountant openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the desk-based and analytical nature of the work.

How can I get hired as a revenue accountant in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a staff accountant or accounting associate role at a New York firm, then transitioning into revenue-focused work once you have close-cycle experience. Large professional services firms like PwC, EY, and KPMG run structured new-graduate programs from their New York City offices that rotate through revenue accounting functions. Earning or actively pursuing the CPA through the New York State Board of Public Accountancy gives candidates a clear edge, and internships through Baruch College or NYU Stern accounting programs often lead directly to staff roles.
