Why You Would Join Us
A real problem to solve: “Bookkeeping and payroll” sounds simple, sometimes ‘boring’ and ‘administrative’; in reality, it’s a rich, complex space with big unsolved problems. If you like working on hard problems with real-world upside, you’ll enjoy it here.
Ownership and autonomy: We hire smart and driven people, giving them space to own problems end to end.
Build, not just maintain: You’ll help shape our product and ways of operating.
Career growth in a high-bar team: You’ll work with people who care about getting better – as operators, as leaders, and as humans. You have access to opportunities that stretch you.
Meaningful impact: Your work matters to SMEs. You’ll see the direct impact of your work in customer stories and outcomes.
No two days the same: We move fast - You’ll work across different problems, customers, and teams, so there’s always something new to learn, build or improve.
Our Culture
We hire people who are:
Gritty
Humble
Optimistic
Curious
A few things that matter to us:
Flock to problems: We run toward issues, not away from them. When something’s broken, we get curious, gather the right people, and work the problem together.
Give energy: We aim to be the people others want in the room – prepared, constructive, and generous with our knowledge and time.
Think customer: We start with the business owner and work backwards. We care about their outcomes, not just our internal process.
Step into the arena: We value people who take ownership, show agency, make calls with imperfect information, and are willing to be accountable.
