About Ember

Join us in creating the new age of accounting.

We make business easier for business owners. By automating the tax and accounting, we give power back to those running the show without any need for an old-school, overpriced accountant, making managing a business simpler, smarter and way cheaper.

Ember takes care of the tax and accounting, so you don't have to.

We know you've got more important things to be doing than rifling through receipts, trying to get your finances in order.

That's why with Ember, you can automate your most mundane tasks at the touch of a button, giving you the time and headspace you need to focus on what matters.

Run your business — we’ll take care of the rest.
