We raised over £2M to build the operating system for small accounting & bookkeeping teams - Pixie
Since founding Pixie, it's always been our mission to make the lives of accountants and bookkeepers easier. Simpler. You are the unsung heroes of the small
You are the unsung heroes of the small business community, working hard to ensure your clients remain compliant, organised and successful. And we hope that by creating a platform to make it easier to run your firm more successfully, you can continue delighting your clients.
In that regard, this year has been an incredible journey for us as we went from a handful of customers to supporting over 1,100 accountants and bookkeepers worldwide in just a few months.
To help us fuel this growth and propel Pixie to new heights, I'm thrilled to share that we've raised £2.25M in funding.
We're joined in our mission by leading venture capital firms Triple Point Ventures, Seedcamp, and MMC Ventures - who have previously backed businesses like TransferWise, Revolut, Capital on Tap or Gousto.
I'm also proud to have investors with a deep understanding of the accounting profession such as Duane Jackson, Oliver Furniss and Will Neale.
So what's next for us?
We have ambitious plans for Pixie and can't want to deliver our vision for the operating system for small accounting and bookkeeping teams.
We'll continue expanding Pixie's features and pushing the envelope in terms of integrations and workflow automation.
If you're a UK customer, you may have seen some hints of what's to come on that front via our partnership with BTCSoftware for Self Assessment.
Join us at AccountingWeb live in Coventry on 2 December for a live demo of the integration that will radically improve how you manage your tax season.
Customer success has been key to ensuring our customers hit the ground running with our product, and we're expanding the team with 3 new hires starting next week who will help you make the most of our platform.
Additionally, we're actively recruiting for 11 other roles across customer success, marketing, design and product development. If you'd like to join a fast-growing startup, I'd be delighted to tell you more about what we're building!
Lastly, getting to this point was a team effort. Pixie wouldn't be here without the support of many, many people. To our team, our investors, our partners and our early customers who saw value in what we are building I want to express my deepest gratitude for enabling us to be on this journey.
I hope you'll be as excited as we are by what's to come for Pixie. Onwards!
