“Working with and for Ian has been nothing short of life-changing for me. His commitment to his clients, his team, and to making the planet a better place is sincere and it is inspirational. Ian provides the Bench team with the latitude to experiment, he pushes each of us to become the best versions of ourselves, and he holds himself to the highest standards as a teammate and leader. I feel truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work closely with Ian to build Bench over the past several years and will miss working with him. I will however be watching Ian and the Bench team, rooting them on as they support small businesses bounce back over the days to come. ”
About
I currently lead Teal.dev, an embedded small business accounting platform that enables neobanks and vertical saas companies to solve accounting for their customers.
Previously I led Financial Services for Shopify. This included the Banking, Lending, and Accounting groups, as well as the money infrastructure teams that power the flow of funds across the Shopify ecosystem.
Before that at Shopify I led Shopify Balance, Shopify's money management solution for merchants that replaces their bank and elevates their financial experience.
Prior to Shopify I co-founded and led Bench Accounting for 11 years, growing it into the world's largest bookkeeping service for SMBs. Originally launching out of Techstars NYC in 2012, at Bench we raised over $100 million and were ranked the fastest growing company in BC, according to the Deloitte Fast 50 list in multiple years. For this work I appeared on multiple lists, including Forbes 30 under 30 and Canada's 40 under 40.
More than anything else, I love to build great businesses.
