Spendbase is a fast-growing fintech SaaS startup helping companies take control of their spending. With our all-in-one platform, businesses can manage SaaS subscriptions, cloud costs, and corporate cards in one place — bringing clarity and control to company expenses.
We are looking for a Finance Lead / Deputy CFO to work closely with our CFO and take ownership of a significant part of the financial function at Spendbase.
This is a role for someone who truly understands how finance works, not just follows processes. You should be comfortable asking “why”, challenging assumptions, and building scalable financial systems for a fast-growing international fintech.
You will act as a strong partner to the CFO, lead financial projects end-to-end, manage parts of the team, and gradually take over key areas such as reporting, internal controls, and selected compliance-related tasks.
What you’ll do: * Act as a deputy to the CFO and take ownership of key financial processes * Lead and improve financial reporting (management reporting, forecasts, budgets) * Ensure accuracy, transparency, and consistency of financial data across entities * Take ownership of internal controls and internal audit—like functions * Support and partially own compliance-related financial tasks (in cooperation with Legal/Compliance) * Lead and mentor finance team members, set clear standards and expectations * Drive finance-related projects end-to-end (process improvements, tooling, scaling initiatives) * Work closely with founders and leadership team, translating numbers into clear insights and decisions
What we’re looking for: * Senior-level experience as a Finance Lead / Finance Manager / Deputy CFO or similar role * Strong background in financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial processes * Proven experience managing or mentoring finance teams * International experience (multi-country, multi-entity setup); local Ukraine-only experience is not sufficient * Strong understanding of compliance-related financial processes (fintech / regulated environment is a big plus) * High level of ownership, proactivity, and adaptability in a fast-changing startup environment * Strong communication skills and ability to explain complex financial topics clearly to non-finance stakeholders * Fluent English is a must
Nice to have: * Experience in fintech, SaaS, or high-growth startups * Experience working closely with Legal / Compliance teams * Hands-on experience building or scaling finance functions from scratch or during rapid growth
What we offer: * Competitive compensation, reviewed based on impact, not just scope * A chance to build and scale a global finance function from a real decision-making position * Direct access to leadership and influence on how the company operates * An environment with high standards, fast pace, and real ownership * Paid vacation and sick leave * Paid overtime, when extra effort is needed and visible * Online medical consultations
