Job description

Company Overview:

Here at eClarity we know that eCommerce Brand owners need support when it comes to finance. Too many founders waste countless hours doing bookkeeping or just trying to figure it all out. Well, here at eClarity we give founders back what is most precious to them - time. This allows them to focus on other key aspects of the business - operations, marketing, product and strategy etc.

We worry about the boring, yet super crucial stuff, whilst they focus on what they're good at and enjoy.

We want to provide a place for people to grow and challenge themselves, allowing freedom through choice of work location and to help as many businesses along the way.
