The Story

Not your average accounting tech company. 

Born in Australia and now expanding globally + taking the UK by storm. Business Fitness’ products span the unique compliance, reporting, workflow and document management needs of SMB and enterprise business services accounting firms. Their ecosystem of solutions support firms to boost their efficiency, standardisation and grow their practices. 

A company that is equal parts tech innovator and industry insider. They’ve been empowering accounting firms to work smarter for a little over two decades, and are now ready to really start to scale off of the back of their newly built cloud-native product & some big enterprise successes (think 45 of the top 100 accounting firms in Aus, many of them top 10 ). 

It’s all happening, and it’s a damn near perfect time to join them. 

The Techy Bits

The Business Fitness products are mostly built with a DDD approach using dotnet and C# APIs with an Angular and TypeScript frontend, hosted on Azure infrastructure in Kubernetes.

What’s in it for You? 

‍♀️ Business Fitness are a fully remote team, and you can WFH anywhere in Australia. You’ll have the flexibility to work where it suits you, but without sacrificing a close-knit culture. 

❤️ This is a business that still ultimately values facetime, and do love to get together to connect. They have quarterly state-based IRL catch ups and twice a year get togethers in sunny Brisbane with the whole crew. 

‍ These folks also love a bit of L&D, and in addition to receiving coaching & mentorship by senior leaders, you’ll enjoy perks such as attending conferences and ongoing training programs.
