Quanta is an AI-powered accounting and finance platform that fixes a major frustration for businesses: stale and slow financial data. We can do in seconds what takes our competitors weeks, which is why we’re trusted by many of today’s fastest growing startups.
Today’s status quo is a cycle of painful finance data lag caused by manual and infrequent processes. We’re solving this by automating accounting from the ground up, and can already do in seconds what takes incumbents weeks to deliver. Our platform replaces outsourced manual work with software, and replaces their static, manually entered numbers with a live, contextual view of the business. Our goal is to achieve something currently impossible: enabling every business decision to be made with instant and complete clarity. In doing so, we can help every business thrive.
About us
We are a tight-knit team of 16, working fully in-person in downtown San Francisco.
Our team has spent our careers at the intersection of finance and technology. Between all of us, we’ve built accounting systems at Affirm, ledgers at Stripe and Robinhood, built previous companies from the ground up, passed CPA exams, and built finance teams from one to dozens. We’ve been founders, first finance hires, product leads, and founding engineers. We’ve led 0→1 launches and scaled systems to support billions in transactions. We understand our customers because we’ve been in their shoes, and care deeply about the future of finance that we’re building.

Enjoyment of doing product work and defining your own requirements

Excited about working in-person with a collaborative team in our San Francisco office
Excited about the level of intensity and hard work required by an early-stage company
