What We Do
Rillet serves finance teams. Our customers are the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossibly high speed, accuracy, and insight.
Today, we do that with powerful and elegant accounting software. Our product earns a consistently perfect customer satisfaction score. Our insane ship velocity is great for high-growth AI companies, because our customers like Decagon, Windsurf, and Postscript need their financial stack to evolve as quickly as their products do.
Rillet’s an early stage startup with a big vision. We raised $38.5m from Sequoia, First Round Capital, Creandum and Susa Ventures. We're looking for people with passion and grit who strive for excellence.
Who We Are
Rillet’s pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need a truly extreme taste for speed, agency, and flexibility.
Successful Rillets do not wait for assignments. They internalize a mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for.
Our plans flex to our customers. Successful Rillets are energized by delivering the most important thing, even if it wasn’t part of the original plan.
In this role, you do not need to be an accountant. But you do need to appreciate the value that our customer can create for their own company when we equip them with the perfect financial tools. Successful Rillets love powering the financial core of the world’s fastest-growing companies.
