Our mission
Banking belongs in business software
Many software companies already serve small businesses incredibly well: helping them send invoices run payroll manage inventory and more. Theyre on a mission to become the central hub for managing every aspect of business life.
But when it comes to financial workflows theres still a gap. Too many critical tasks like managing cash flow tracking payments or reconciling accounts happen outside the software across spreadsheets email threads banking portals.
Its a missed opportunity. Business software shouldnt just record financial activity it should run it.
