Job Description

The financial system does not work for the average person, a new approach is required to level the playing field. As a disruptive fintech startup we will rebuild financial advice from the ground up to benefit those who most need help while empowering our users to make a positive impact with their money. This mission starts by automating and optimizing debt decisions to free up cash. Next, we recommend strategies to optimize excess cash considering interest rates, financial stability, planned expenses and investment returns. Then we determine the optimal investment strategy based on a user’s preferences for risk and impact (e.g., ESG). Our goal is to automate all these decisions so people no longer need to worry about complex financial decisions. And we plan to do this while significantly disrupting asset management and financial advice costs.
