We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. Our new reader helps our sellers accept chip cards and NFC payments, and our Cash app lets people pay each other back instantly. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

Finance & Strategy is responsible for enabling and improving strategic and financial decision-making across the company. We maintain the company’s operating models, analyze deals and capital allocation decisions, and think a lot about strategy (e.g. go-to-market, pricing).

Our team’s core value is trust – we build it by making what is complex simple. Business partners appreciate our insight and trust us to help them solve difficult problems.
