We are a mission-driven FinTech company transforming the global fresh produce supply chain. Inspired by the belief that growers and buyers deserve a more transparent, efficient, and sustainable way to trade, we’ve built a platform that modernizes how produce is financed, sourced, and distributed.

We’re scaling rapidly to meet global demand, backed by leading investors and a vision to create a more connected and predictable supply chain for perishable goods. Join us in redefining agri-finance and trade, one harvest at a time.

Role: Drive accounting process transformation, strengthen operational infrastructure, and ensure that accounting schedules, reconciliations, and workflows effectively support the company’s accounting policies and financial reporting.

Key Responsibilities
