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.
