Our take
HR teams often deal with disparate systems for employee information and payroll that don't line up neatly with one another. This requires a large amount of manual data entry, slowing vital processes down. Finch exists to solve this, providing APIs that allow companies to build a unified process and single dashboard for all a company's HR functions.
Through Finch, HR teams can manage employee benefit contributions, onboard new employees and much more without having to manually pull data from spreadsheets, pdfs and internal servers. Though it isn't the only company tackling this issue, Finch stands out for security features which allow for the data it handles to be encrypted in transit as well as at rest.
The company has raised significant funding which support further product development and the expansion of its team, especially across engineering, product and customer success. As the company is already revenue positive, and the demand for its product is only growing, Finch is well poised for future success.
