3. Grow from 7 cofounders to 500+ happy Pennylaners: we’re now recognized as one of the greatest places to work in France (and also remotely), with a 4.6/5 rating on Glassdoor.
4. Build an international environment with more than 25 nationalities, with a strong remote-friendly culture, where 30% of the employees are already working from all parts of Europe.
5. Earn the trust of thousands of customers and accounting firms and obtain outstanding ratings. Already more than 200,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and over 3,500 accounting firms use Pennylane in France!
