The Role

At the heart of Focus AI lies a simple belief - the future of ecommerce for SMBs is powered by AI. We’re building an AI-native ERP platform with a clear focus on redefining what's possible in bookkeeping, financial management, inventory, supply-chain, and operational efficiency. Our platform is a transformation engine designed to unlock new levels of revenue and cashflow for our customers.

At Focus AI, we're breaking down the barriers that have traditionally held SMBs back. Focus AI is a continuous coach to P&L owners, empowering them with a deeper financial insight and understanding. By leveraging our platform, finance and accounting teams gain insights that are 10x more powerful at 10% of the cost of older and more cumbersome systems like Oracle and SAP.
