Who is Aiwyn and what do we do?
We're a team of interdisciplinary do-ers who've come together to solve long-overlooked invoicing and payment problems in the accounting industry. At accounting firms, the process by which a firm prepares and sends a bill to clients and then collects payments from clients is called the "work-to-cash" cycle. And for most firms this process is slow, manual, offline, ungoverned, costly, and frustrating (for staff and for clients). Our mission is to reinvent an easier, faster, smarter work-to-cash cycle to help accounting firms save time, speed up cash flow, and deliver a superior client experience through our Intelligence-Based BillingTM Platform.
Who you are:
You are a builder, passionate about learning new technologies and applying them to build creative solutions that solve customer problems. You find yourself moving faster than those around you. You are opinionated, in regard to both software design and product requirements. You require autonomy, and feel strong ownership for your work. You are a natural mentor, and recognize that collaboration and knowledge sharing are keys to success. You thrive in an environment that welcomes debate and encourages a "logic wins the day" mentality, where the best ideas are the right ideas. You are a player coach, you want to help your team succeed, and celebrate their wins. As a manager, you promote and encourage those around you. You give others the credit, and bear the responsibility when things don’t go as planned, coaching to improve for next time.
