What It's Like
Built for people who do the work.
We're not a place that rewards politics, meetings about meetings, or performative busyness. Merit runs on competence, ownership, and trust.

Ownership Over Titles

Your scope isn't limited by your job description. See a problem? Fix it. Have an idea? Pitch it. We care about what you do, not what your title says.

Doers, Not Spectators

Whether you're closing deals or closing the books, everyone here contributes directly to growth. We don't have passengers.

Cross-Functional by Design

Finance talks to marketing talks to IT. You'll work across disciplines every week. Silos don't exist here because they don't work.

Midwest Work Ethic, Modern Mindset

We move fast, use the best tools, and think like a tech company — but we keep our word, show up on time, and treat people right.

Build Things That Last

Every system, process, and relationship we build is designed to create long-term enterprise value. We don't do throwaway work.

Transparency Is Default

You'll know how the business is doing, what our goals are, and where you fit in. We share context because it makes everyone better.

Benefits & Perks
We take care of our people.
Competitive compensation is table stakes. Here's what else you get.

Health & Dental

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family.

Flexible PTO

Take the time you need. We trust you to manage your own schedule responsibly.

Early Close Fridays

We wrap at 2 PM on Fridays. Get a head start on your weekend — you've earned it.

Office Culture

Water cooler connections and team collaboration in our Johnston HQ everyday.

Team Events

Quarterly team outings, annual retreats, and an events coordinator who makes it happen.

Career Trajectory

Fast-growing company means real advancement. We promote from within whenever possible.
