Our take
As hybrid and remote work models have become increasingly popular, companies have recognized the benefits of finding flexible, non-traditional solutions for common business needs. Through the power of AI, Paro matches companies with highly specialized freelance finance talent.
Recent studies by Wakefield Research have shown that while a majority of senior finance executives recognize the importance of flexible operation models, the gap between the desire to adopt flexible models and the ability to access the talent that allows them to do so has been rather evident. Paro’s intelligent marketplace closes this gap, providing professional advice and business/talent matchmaking across a scope of young businesses to Fortune 500 companies.
The company has seen significant growth, with its Madrona and Sierra-led Series C funding round, Paro is focusing on further developing its AI-powered marketplace and expanding its share of enterprise clients.
