Product Manager (Hybrid in Kirkland WA)

Hi, we’re Formations, a Seattle-based technology startup reimagining financial management for self-employed professionals. If you’ve ever run your own business or know someone who has, then you know it’s challenging enough without the added pressure of having to become an expert in taxes, accounting, Benefits and retirement planning. Instead of being rewarded for taking the entrepreneurial risk of striking out on their own, the independent workforce in the U.S. forgoes almost all the benefits afforded to full-time corporate employees and gets hit with a self-employment tax to boot.

That’s where we come in.

What We Do: Formations is developing the first generative AI predictive tax liability management solution for the self-employed. With our technology and team of financial experts by their side, self-employed professionals have the playbook and tools they need to save thousands on annual taxes and achieve financial well-being, securing their futures through better financial decision making, and increasing their take home money.
