Who's behind Absolv

Shaun

I'm Shaun. I trained at PwC, qualified as an ICAEW chartered accountant, then co-founded a company that hit $300M valuation as COO.

I built Absolv because I've been on both sides - managing the finances of a fast-growing company, and dealing with accountants who couldn't keep up. Founders deserve better.
