I work with Legal and Sales early on nonstandard terms, document conclusions, reconcile source-system data to the general ledger, and implement review controls for commitments, overages, and variable consideration. Describe a finance-system automation project you led. I assess the current process for manual effort, data-quality risk, and control gaps before defining a target workflow. In prior implementations, I have partnered with Finance and technical stakeholders to improve integrations, automate reconciliations and close reporting, test exceptions thoroughly, and track measurable improvements in close speed and accuracy. How would you improve the month-end close in a scaling SaaS company? I would first establish a detailed close calendar, ownership matrix, materiality thresholds, and standardized account-reconciliation procedures. I would then prioritize automation of recurring journal entries, billing-to-revenue reconciliations, and variance reporting, while using dashboards to surface exceptions early and maintaining clear reviewer controls. How do you balance speed with strong financial controls in a fast-paced environment? I focus controls on the highest-risk processes, make them embedded in normal workflows, and automate evidence collection wherever possible. This allows the team to move quickly without sacrificing segregation of duties, reconciliation quality, approval discipline, or audit readiness. What is your approach to leading and developing an accounting team? I set clear role ownership, service expectations, and development plans while staying close enough to understand operational issues. I use regular coaching, documented processes, cross-training, and objective metrics such as close timeliness and reconciliation quality to build both accountability and career growth. ### About Us: Spreedly is the world’s leading Open Payments Platform. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Durham, NC, the company gives mid-market and enterprise businesses the infrastructure to connect to any payment gateway, processor, or fraud tool through a single API. The platform is vendor-agnostic by design, meaning customers are never locked into a single provider and never need to rebuild their payments stack to access new capabilities. The core business problem Spreedly solves is real and costly: global merchants face a fragmented payments ecosystem, where every new market, payment method, or fraud tool typically requires a separate, time-consuming integration. Spreedly eliminates that complexity, enabling companies to route transactions intelligently, secure cardholder data, prevent fraud, and expand into new markets without heavy engineering overhead. ### About the Role: Spreedly is looking for a Controller to lead our accounting function and help build a more automated, scalable operating environment. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you’ll own accounting across the business while partnering closely with FP&A and cross-functional leaders. This is an opportunity for an experienced accounting leader who wants meaningful autonomy, enjoys solving complex problems, and knows what great systems and processes look like. Our usage-based model — including contracts with commitments, overages, and usage billed in arrears — creates accounting challenges beyond those found in a typical SaaS environment. You’ll be the steward of our finance systems, including NetSuite, Orb, and Ramp, and a driving force behind modernizing how the accounting function runs, including where automation and AI tools can remove manual work. ### Responsibilities: * Lead the accounting function, with responsibility for accurate books and a timely, consistent close * Oversee core accounting areas including financial statements, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, revenue recognition, treasury, tax, and audit * Own and improve the accounting systems stack, including NetSuite, Orb, and Ramp, ensuring data integrity across integrations * Assess current workflows and implement practical systems automation and AI-enabled processes * Build scalable processes and controls that support the company as it grows, including SOC 2 / audit readiness * Navigate accounting for usage-based contracts, including commitments, overages, and billing in arrears * Review SaaS and usage-based customer contracts for revenue recognition impact under ASC 606, partnering with Legal and Sales on rev rec-sensitive terms * Lead and develop the accounting team, including determining the most effective reporting structure * Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Legal, Revenue Operations, Business Operations, and other teams on contracts and business decisions * Own the annual financial statement audit and any tax examinations, coordinating with external auditors and tax advisors * Oversee corporate tax compliance (income, sales/use, and other filings) in partnership with outside tax advisors * Bring a clear point of view on what good looks like and translate it into better systems, processes, and team practices ### Requirements: * Active CPA certification * Accounting leadership and people-management experience * Experience owning a broad accounting function rather than a narrow specialty * SaaS accounting experience * Demonstrated success in implementing systems and process automation * Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini) or AI-enabled workflows to improve accounting operations * Strong knowledge of close management, financial reporting, revenue recognition (including ASC 606), and core accounting operations * Ability to think quickly, operate autonomously, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment * Strong cross-functional communication and collaboration skills ### Additional Skills We Value: * Experience in fintech or payments * Experience with usage-based or consumption-based business models * Experience in a startup, SMB, or mid-market environment where you have owned a wide range of accounting responsibilities * Big Four experience combined with hands-on ownership of accounting systems, processes, or team development * Direct experience with Orb, Chargebee, or another usage-based billing platform * Direct experience with Ramp or a similar T&E/spend management platform ### We Offer US-based Employees: * Competitive salary + Equity * Outstanding Medical and Dental benefits, including 100% employer-paid options * Company-paid Life and Disability insurance * Optional vision and supplemental insurance options, and various Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) * Open Paid Time Off policy + 12 weeks of paid leave for new parents * Matching 401(k) plan (5% up to $5,000 yearly) * Monthly home working/digital lifestyle stipend, new MacBook, and one-time accessory reimbursement * $1,000 annual professional development stipend * Access to company-paid professional coaching service * Visits to HQ in Durham, North Carolina for remote employees ### Compensation ### Additional Information Spreedly Product Offering: Spreedly provides an open payments platform. The platform’s connectivity provides payments performance. Key products and services include: Connect — A unified API that integrates with hundreds of payment gateways, processors, and alternative payment methods worldwide, including digital wallets. Merchants access the global payments ecosystem through one connection. Vault — A PCI-compliant secure repository for payment methods. Merchants store card data once and reuse it across any payment service, reducing PCI scope and protecting cardholder data at scale. Optimize — Workflow-driven routing and retry logic that directs each transaction to the best-performing gateway in real time. On average, 7.9% of failed transactions succeed immediately when retried on a secondary gateway. This is where merchants recover lost revenue and increase authorization success rates. Protect — A flexible fraud and authentication layer, incorporating advanced fraud tools and 3DS. Following Spreedly’s acquisition of Dodgeball in September 2025, fraud orchestration and payment optimization now operate within the same platform. Resolve — Centralized management and reporting that reduces operational silos, strengthens security, and improves billing control across a merchant’s entire payment operation.

In order to be considered for employment, applicants must be currently legally authorized to work in the job location country and not require future sponsorship in order to continue working in that country.
