Banking + Payroll/Benefits + Bookkeeping + Tax in one place

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a single platform for small and medium businesses to run their entire back office: banking, payroll, benefits, bookkeeping, and taxes. Instead of juggling multiple vendors, our customers get a business bank account, corporate cards, payments, US and international payroll, benefits like health and 401k, bookkeeping, and year-end tax filing all consolidated in one place.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We're based in San Francisco and have a remote team spread across the US. After YC, we'll continue to operate from San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco gives us access to engineering talent and investors who understand complex fintech products. Our customers are US-based businesses, so staying local makes coordination and growth easier.
