About

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. They\'re on a mission to become the central hub for managing every aspect of business life. But when it comes to financial workflows, there\'s 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. It\'s a missed opportunity. Business software shouldn\'t just record financial activity - it should run it.
