Senior Accountant
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 the payment orchestration platform that lets merchants, platforms, and fintechs connect to hundreds of payment services through a single integration. As we modernize our finance systems, recently moving to Rippling and rolling out Ramp later this year, we are hiring a Senior Accountant to help run a lean, highly automated accounting function.
Reporting to the Accounting Manager, this is a broad, hands-on individual contributor role on a small team. Because routine general-ledger and accounts-payable work is increasingly automated, this role is less about manual data entry and more about ownership, judgment, exception handling, and continuous improvement of how we close the books. It is a strong fit for an accountant who is comfortable across the full close, curious about new systems, and eager to put automation and AI tools to work
Responsibilities:
- Assist with the recurring month-end close: prepare and post journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and amortization; complete assigned account reconciliations; and investigate and explain variances.
- Perform balance sheet and subledger reconciliations across the general ledger, ensuring items are supported, current, and cleared timely.
- Support accounts payable, accounts receivable, and billing in an increasingly automated environment, including review, exception handling, and controls rather than manual invoice entry.
- Process and administer company payroll, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
- Record and reconcile payroll-related accounting entries (Rippling) and administer equity/stock (Carta), including related reconciliations and reporting.
- Support day-to-day expense management, including reviewing, approving, and reconciling employee expense reports and corporate card transactions (e.g., in Ramp).
- Take first pass on revenue recognition: enter and configure customer contracts in NetSuite under ASC 606, preparing schedules for the Controller's review and ownership.
- Support the outsourced tax function by gathering schedules and requested documentation for our external provider.
- Act as a power user across our finance systems (NetSuite, Rippling, Ramp), helping maintain configurations, troubleshoot, and keep integrations running cleanly.
- Identify and implement process improvements: streamline close tasks, build automations, and pilot AI-enabled workflows that reduce manual effort and improve accuracy.
- Support the annual audit and maintain clear process documentation for the areas you own.
Requirements:
- 4+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of month-end close activities.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
- Solid working knowledge of U.S. GAAP, including exposure to revenue recognition under ASC 606.
- Hands-on experience with a major ERP; NetSuite strongly preferred.
- Strong reconciliation and analytical skills, with high attention to detail and accuracy.
- Comfort working in a lean, fast-changing environment where you own outcom
