About Layer
Over the last decade, a vibrant ecosystem of SMB software tools has emerged to help SMBs manage and run their businesses. These tools help SMBs with everything from payments to payroll, but accounting has lagged behind. Small business owners are still struggling with disconnected, generic, accounting software and expensive bookkeepers.
At Layer, we’re building a new kind of accounting software and bookkeeping that lives within the existing software tools SMBs use every day. Our platform allows software companies to quickly launch modern accounting software and bookkeeping services to their SMB customers, eliminating the need for them to use legacy accounting tools or bookkeepers.

Run live video onboarding calls with new customers to gather key business context and complete bookkeeping setup (bank/credit card connections, historical bookkeeping needs, etc.).
Support customers across chat and email by answering bookkeeping questions, diagnosing issues, and driving them to resolution quickly and empathetically.
Maintain accurate customer notes and status updates in internal systems to ensure strong follow-through and smooth handoffs.
Collaborate with other Layer teams to improve workflows and surface product feedback based on recurring customer needs.
Exceed partner and customer expectations by providing thoughtful, proactive, and detail-oriented support.
