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.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead Revenue Accounting globally, ensuring related accounting, controls, and reporting are executed accurately and on time across all entities

  • Own Legora's ASC 606 revenue recognition across all entities, including multi-element arrangements, contract modifications, pilots, ramps, usage-based components, and multi-year deals

  • 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

  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.

  • Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.

  • Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.

  • In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.

  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:
