About the Company
- Alternative Payments is building the financial operating system for SMBs, consolidating the disconnected tech stack that holds service-based businesses back.
- Starting with MSPs, we've spent five years perfecting accounts receivable, and we're now expanding into accounts payable, AI-powered analytics, and beyond.
- We're at an inflection point: closing the loop on money movement and laying the foundation for a platform that will reshape how service businesses operate financially.
- We're growing fast, thinking big, and building a global team that wants to be part of something that lasts.
- We believe the best solutions come from diverse perspectives, deep collaboration, and a shared obsession with customer impact.
- If you're energized by real problems, real customers, and real impact, we want to hear from you!
Equal Opportunity
- We’re also committed to an inclusive and accessible process. If you require reasonable accommodation during the hiring process, please let us know upon being selected to interview.
