- A note from our Founder:
- This is a culture-defining role for a 10-year-old company that is back in ‘startup mode’, building a category-defining product. This role is for someone who has a great compass and a high bar for products.
- That alone should excite you …
- But let me dive a bit deeper. We’re a company that doesn’t look for clever ideas but clear problems. Our founding journey was interviewing hundreds of accounting firm owners to find the pain and build a simple, delightly, impactful product that removes the pain. We like to build, not banter on how things should work… instead we like to get to work :) You’re coming in as we’re nearing the launch of ‘v2’, which is like reaching basecamp at Everest.
- We’re ambitious but not reckless. We have no VC’s, no monster ‘fundraising’ round, we hope saves us from becoming profitable. We’ve raised a bit, but never lost control. We want to innovate, have fun, and build with smart, thoughtful, kind people. If that’s you, we’d love to chat.
