Data Analyst - Finance

What do we do?

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

In May 2022, we joined forces with ProfitWell. ProfitWell provides BI solutions that improve retention and monetization automatically through unmatched subscription intelligence. As one team and one platform, we offer the "done for you" approach to SaaS payments, billing, and growth.

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 3000 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.

• Global tax filings
• Month end reporting across sales and revenue
