About Us
We are building the operating system for trade and technical schools. Our mission is to empower these institutions with the most trusted operational software and services — improving enrollment, streamlining administration, and giving more students access to life-changing, outcomes-driven education. We are obsessed with training the next generation of skilled tradespeople by supporting the career growth of students in high-impact professions.
To date, we have changed 100,000 lives and support 400 unique schools across the country, spanning healthcare, skilled construction, transportation, culinary arts, and cosmetology. We are backed by top-tier venture firms including TTV Capital and Tusk Ventures.
About The Role
This is a high-ownership role with a clear growth runway. You will step into an environment where the books are already clean and the processes are documented. Your job is to run our day-to-day accounting operations, partner closely with our outsourced accounting firm, and progressively take more of the close and compliance function in-house as you ramp.
