Founding Recruiter

About Numeric

Numeric is building the modern accounting & finance platform. Companies today depend on Numeric's workflow and data platform to collaborate, monitor and analyze data, and share insights about their financials.

We believe an organization with up-to-date, accurate, rich financial data is empowered to move faster and smarter. Unfortunately, the tools and systems have not been keeping up. The complexity of work and granularity of data has ballooned and old, slow software and simplistic tools only facilitate the manual work; they do little to solve the fundamental challenges of accounting and finance.

Numeric is backed by Founders Fund, Menlo Ventures, 8VC, Long Journey Ventures, and others as well as founders from Ramp, Segment, and more.

What We Care About

We are an early startup, and our culture and values will continue to be defined by the people who join us on this journey. So expect our values to change over time as we incorporate new ideas and ensure they reflect the diversity of voices that make up Velocity.

Today, there are a few things that we double down on that we believe will lead to outsized early success

• Trust & Autonomy — we are a small team with big ambitions. Speed is our advantage and we maximize it by equipping everyone with the knowledge, tools, and support to make important decisions and take ownership of their work. As a result, we get a lot more done than people expect us to.
• Continuous Improvement — we care deeply about shortening the time to value for what we build and move quickly to release product and features. How we hire reflects this value as well. A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept.
• Written Communication - we emphasize strong documentation and a scientific approach to evaluating and addressing problems. We believe a culture of writing promotes systematic thinking, creates shared institutional knowledge, and drives alignment of plans & priorities.
• Curiosity — finance and accounting systems need a first-principled rethink. The ways in which we differentiate our product, company, and culture will be defined by our ability to challenge conventions and consistently embody a learning mindset. All team members engage with our customers and take an active role in identifying opportunities to define solutions & improve our product.
