The Number 1 Factor in Scaling Your Business
Austin, TX-based ScaleFactor wants to make scaling every business easier, less of a headache. And they are doing their part by automating the financial side of things. ScaleFactors intuitive software automates accounting, tax and finance tasks so that the people in charge of running the businesses can focus all their attention on other areas, without having to worry about it.
Since its 2013 inception date, the company has grown and grown, had to move into a new office space and cultivated a dynamic culture leading to a "Best Place to Work in Austin" award.
Account Executive, Alex, said, "Joining ScaleFactor has been an incredible experience and has exceeded all of my expectations. I've been on so-called 'rocket ships' before, but ScaleFactor is the real deal. The excitement and positivity here make it easy to do my best work."

6 Factors of Success
The Culture at ScaleFactor
Collaboration and Passion on the Cutting Edge
ScaleFactor's culture is all about passionate people working smartly together. It is why so many friendships bloom in this workplace and why the company has seen so much success. The company nurtures these great relationships by doing things like having lake days or going to escape rooms (where you have no choice but to work together!)
Earned Media Coordinator, Morgan, said, "We have a vibe unlike any office or business I have worked at. Our office is less about a location (although, we have a great space) and more about combining the variations in background and taste that everyone brings to the table. It's so fun to watch us all grow and mesh together to create the "ScaleFactor vibe" knowing we all have a part in it."
The ScaleFactor office has an open floor plan to aide in creating a collaborative environment. Collaboration is a big part of the work that ScaleFactor employees do. It's a way that they can grow and learn, as well as a way for different perspectives to guide a project towards success.
Peter, a Lead Senior Software Developer, said, "ScaleFactor is fast-paced with lots of moving parts, so collaboration with other teams is key to keeping everyone on the same page. From understanding feature priorities from sales, working with marketing on product launches, to training and support for other internal teams, every team works together to keep us headed in the right direction."
The Office at ScaleFactor
Keep ScaleFactor Weird
The ScaleFactor office is located in the hip east Austin, TX area. The office is pet-friendly (cats, as well as dogs, are welcome, for all you cat people out there) and has a stocked kitchen with snacks, drinks and cold brew coffee. It's in an area that is growing pretty quickly, one of the reasons why the company decided to move there. The neighborhood where the office is located is full of unique and quirky bars, restaurants and cafes. There is even a succulents shop, in case you need to pick up a desk plant or two on your way into work one day. Oh, and there's an office cat named Floyd.
The Benefits at ScaleFactor
What's Life Without a Benefit or Two?
ScaleFactor acknowledges that technology is nothing without great people behind it to drive it forward. That is why they go above and beyond to take care of their own people. They offer their employees a very competitive salary along with some really great health, dental and vision benefits. Some other benefits and perks that ScaleFactor offers are:
The company is also very keen on employee development. ScaleFactor employees will always have opportunities to grow within the company and, if they are interested in doing so, learn some new skills along the way.
Will, a Product Manager with ScaleFactor, had this to say about the opportunities he's gotten to scale his own career since joining ScaleFactor: "ScaleFactor has given me every opportunity for growth, allowing me to make real contributions while appreciating those efforts. The mission, culture, leadership, and people have all made this the best decision of my life, surpassing all expectations."
ScaleFactor has regular job training events and conferences to help with things like that, but the nature of the work is another way that employees learn. ScaleFactor employees get the opportunity to work alongside highly skilled, smart people, but also get to serve them. The company works with some big names in business. "Since joining ScaleFactor, my career has skyrocketed. From working one on one with entrepreneurs to world-class venture capitalists, I've developed an extensive catalog of experiences to draw from that have helped to prepare me for my career moving forward."
