Job Description

What do we do?

Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 5000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

The Role:

Working closely with Paddle’s finance team, the core of the role will be supporting the Finance Operations Manager in making sure all financial data is accurate and available in real time.

As Paddle is scaling we’re constantly developing and delivering new products for our customers, as well rapidly growing the number of transactions through our platform each month globally. In order to maintain high standards in financial reporting, these changes in products and increase in transactions must be monitored closely, and the reporting accurately reflected.

The Analyst will be responsible for creating, maintaining, and improving a series of reports across accounting, tax and treasury, as well as supporting the team through annual audits, and providing data analysis and insight for key stakeholders within the company. They will be able to utilise our data stack and work with our Data Engineering team to ensure the Finance team’s needs are met and the quality of, and access to, our reporting is high.

The role will be fast paced and can include changing priorities due to the team’s needs.

What you'll do:

  • Work closely with the Finance teams to produce and maintain a series of key reports needed for Paddle’s financial reporting

    • Work on scoped briefs under the guidance of the Finance Operations Manager and other Finance Managers

    • Be able to build, and work with Data Engineering to build out the reporting infrastructure across our BI tools and data stack

  • Become a subject matter expert on Paddle financial data, and the tools we use.

  • Contribute to strategic planning by recognising areas of weakness or upcoming change, and efficiency improvements in our reporting across:

    • Global tax filings

    • Month end reporting across sales and revenue

  • Continually evolve our data collection, processing and reporting structures through scoping new tools and methods to help the Finance team support the wider business

We'd love to hear from you:

  • You have strong commercial experience in relational database structures, SQL, and Excel.

  • Experience with Pigment is a plus.

  • Working knowledge of Dbt and Snowflake is a plus.

  • You have experience working within a financial organisation or with finance teams

  • You have experience working with large data sets

  • You’re a great problem solver

  • You have strong data visualisation and presentation techniques.

  • You have exposure to BI and ETL tools, such as Sisense, Looker, Tableau and PowerBI.

  • Have experience in working for start ups / scale ups, or financial organisations, and can work in an unstructured environment
