To help eCommerce business owners scale their businesses with more cash and less stress.
This requires a broad range of skills including financial modeling, risk management, understanding of US/Canadian GAAP, financing, audit, investor relations and more.

Eightx Company Values
We are forward-thinking
We are always thinking about the future. We keep tabs on the economy, current trends in industries, and current best practices.

We know about problems and solutions before our clients do. We proactively suggest new ideas and opportunities. We proactively mitigate risk.
We are continually seeking ways to improve both ours and our clients’ businesses. We are constantly innovating our own processes and the ways we deliver value to our clients.
We are disciplined
We do great work. Why?
We double check. We ask for input. We review. We test. We verify.
We get up and take a walk around the block, so we can look at our work with “fresh eyes”.
We are literally the best at what we do.
We are scrappy
We figure shit out. We never throw our hands up and say “I don’t know”. We challenge the status quo.
Compared to others, we get more done on tighter budgets.
We work to improve client processes. We take time to understand client processes, we think of ways to improve client processes.
We are client-centric
Our clients are the core of our “Why”. How do we live this core value?
? we always schedule in our client’s time zones
? we work hard to make sure they feel valued
? we empathize when needed
? we do our best to understand our clients needs, and then we meet them (we don’t rely on scope or past processes only)
We care deeply about our clients as people.
Work can and should make our lives better
Work should add to our quality of life, not take away from it.
While we work crazy hard sometimes we don’t do it regularly.
We believe in flexibility. We work during those hours that we feel most energized and we work in the locations that allow us to live our best lives (france? the beach?).
We EMBRACE each other
We embrace diversity and inclusivity, creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered.
