About Firstbase
Tens of thousands of businesses — from newly incorporated startups to public enterprises — rely on Firstbase to streamline compliance, finance, analytics, and every part of the back office. It is one platform to run your entire company.
Our goal is to make running a business feel like magic. We make it possible by owning the general ledger and unifying data across all business functions. Compliance tasks are flagged — and often resolved — automatically. Real-time business metrics are accurate, accessible, and easy to understand. And if you need to hire a new employee, send an invoice, or file taxes, you can do it from the same interface.
We’re bundling what’s never been bundled. We’re not building an incorporation tool. We’re not building an ERP. We’re not building an "AI accountant." We are creating a new category entirely: the Company OS.
How we work
We cherish the moments when noise fades and we move with clarity, confidence, and focus — doing the right thing at the right time. These moments are when our best work happens, and we strive to create more of them.
We value craftsmanship over busyness, clarity over complexity, and resilience above all — whether it takes hard work or patience. We aim high, avoid mediocrity, and speak with fearless transparency.
We believe in upward mobility and take pride in growing talent from within, always preferring to promote our own before looking externally.
About the team
Our QA team is a key part of a small, nimble product organization that obsesses over delivering the best customer experience to a global market of founders. We work closely with engineering leadership, product managers, and other stakeholders to ensure clarity, simplicity, and technical excellence in everything we ship. Every team member plays a hands-on role in shaping our product direction and maintaining high quality as we scale.
Our product is built using PHP, Symfony, Vue, PostgreSQL, AWS. We also use Redis, Vue Router, Vuex, Docker Compose, Docker, GitLab CI, and Graylog, and some third-party APIs like Stripe. We use Slack, Clubhouse, Notion, Whimsical, Figma, and G Suite to collaborate and build together.
