Companies that use Tipalti

My analysis shows that Tipalti purchasing decisions are primarily driven by finance leadership, with 9% of roles being Directors of Accounting and 9% being VPs of Finance or Accounting. These leaders are focused on transformation initiatives, with one company explicitly seeking someone to lead worldwide P2P process transformation ensuring smooth, touchless, secure and compliant payment processing globally. They're building teams that can scale operations while maintaining controls for SOX compliance and audit readiness.

The day-to-day users are predominantly accounts payable professionals, representing 24% of roles analyzed, plus another 7% in AP management positions. These practitioners use Tipalti for invoice processing, vendor onboarding, payment runs, and managing the full procure-to-pay cycle. I noticed many roles mention processing high volumes of invoices weekly, reconciling vendor statements, and managing corporate card programs alongside Tipalti. The platform appears integrated with ERPs like NetSuite, Oracle, and QuickBooks.

The core pain points center on automation and efficiency. Companies repeatedly mention wanting to reduce manual data entry, minimize errors, and streamline workflows. One posting specifically notes the goal of reducing manual check volume and enhancing digital payment strategies, while another seeks to drive initiatives to minimize disruption of system configuration changes. Multiple roles emphasize the need to handle vendor inquiries efficiently and maintain strong vendor relationships through timely payments, suggesting companies view Tipalti as critical infrastructure for both internal operations and external partnerships.

I noticed that companies using Tipalti share a distinctive profile: they're fast-growing, operationally mature tech companies with distributed teams and complex workflows. The presence of tools like PagerDuty, Docker Hub, and multiple identity management platforms tells me these are engineering-forward organizations running sophisticated cloud infrastructure at scale. Combined with Tipalti's accounts payable automation, this suggests companies managing hundreds or thousands of vendor payments globally, likely including contractors, freelancers, and international suppliers.

The pairing of Greenhouse and Tipalti is particularly revealing. Companies investing heavily in recruiting infrastructure need equally robust systems to pay their growing workforce, especially contingent workers and international employees. Meanwhile, the strong correlation with both Okta and OneLogin shows these companies take security seriously and manage access for large, distributed teams. When you're processing thousands of payments across borders, identity management becomes critical. Culture Amp's presence reinforces this picture of companies in hypergrowth mode, investing in employee engagement as they scale rapidly.

Looking at the complete stack, these companies operate with a product-led foundation but have matured into sales and operations complexity. They're likely Series B and beyond, past the scrappy startup phase and building enterprise-grade processes. The DevOps tooling suggests engineering teams of 50 plus people, while the HR and security tools indicate total headcount in the hundreds. They're not bootstrapped companies, they're venture-backed organizations scaling quickly and professionalizing their operations.

I noticed that Tipalti's customers span an incredibly wide range of industries, but they share a common thread: they're almost all companies that need to pay lots of people. These aren't just B2B software companies. I saw biotechnology firms developing cancer treatments, luxury fashion brands selling demi-couture, cookware manufacturers, energy companies, pharmaceutical giants, hotels, museums, and even a food bank. What unites them is that they're all operationally complex businesses that likely have significant payables volume, whether paying suppliers, contractors, vendors, or affiliates.

These companies are clearly past the earliest startup phase. I saw a mix that skews toward growth and mature stages. Many are Series C or later, several are public companies, and numerous ones employ 200 to 1,000 people or more. Even the smaller headcount companies often describe substantial scale, like ThriveCart's "over $5 billion in sales" or MailerLite's 130+ person distributed team. These are companies experiencing the pain of manual payment processes at scale.
