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.

With extensive experience leading HR teams, Head of People Riikka is responsible for everything and anything people-related at Ember. Prior to joining in May 2022, Riikka oversaw people operations at the likes of Cleo, Paddle and HelloFresh, all the while completing a Master’s degree at Birbeck, University of London. She is now based in Hastings and loves the fresh sea air, but will head up to London for a Pret A Manger (since Hastings doesn't actually have one).

After spending some time travelling around Europe, Asia and North America, Matt entered the FinTech scene shortly after settling down in London in 2018. He has since worked on launching a digital SME bank and led a team within a digital marketing agency, with a core focus on FinTech clients.

A data whizz through and through, Zack devotes his time delving into data, making sure that all the decisions we make as a team are the right ones. When not buried in a database, Zack can be found fixing up his 1920s-era house, or sampling new spirits and liqueurs for his cocktail creations.

When not editing the latest Tax Tips segment, you can find him learning Japanese or playing video games like Persona 5.

Equipped with a BSc in Computer Science and a wealth of coding experience, Mili joins the team as a Junior Front End Developer. As well as keeping the website in good shape, he'll be getting creative with his front-end development skills, bringing a new edge to the look and feel of Ember's online brand. Outside of the office, Mili is an avid gamer, a keen football player, and can do one (very cool) magic trick.

Driven by an ambition to change the way businesses do finance, Adam is all about showing off what Ember can do for entrepreneurs looking to make their taxes less, well, taxing.
