Customers use our platform to book services such as beauty treatments, haircuts, massage therapy, cleaning, plumbing, carpentry, appliance repair, painting, etc., all delivered in the comfort of their home and at a time of their choosing. We promise our customers a high-quality, standardised, and reliable service experience. To fulfil this promise, we work closely with our hand-picked service partners, enabling them with technology, training, products, tools, financing, insurance, and brand, helping them succeed and deliver on this promise. Urban Company started as UrbanClap in November 2014, when its founders, Abhiraj, Raghav, and Varun, realized that the home services industry was predominantly unorganized, fragmented, and offline. Customers found it challenging to avail quality services conveniently, and service professionals were struggling to make ends meet, having to rely upon several middlemen, contractors, and local aggregators. The founders felt that the industry was ripe for disruption, and launched Urban Company, with three key principles in mind - 1. Customer love: Build a platform that offers truly delightful and differentiated services 2. Partner empowerment: Build a deep, full-stack partnership with service partners, helping improve their earnings and overall livelihood 3. Technology first: Bring innovation and technology to an age-old industry **About the Role & Team** The Accounting & Partner Payouts Platform team builds the financial foundation of Urban Company - the central system of record powering every monetary transaction across the global marketplace. Operating across 15+ business lines and multiple countries, the team engineers high-throughput, fault-tolerant distributed systems where scale, tech complexity, and financial correctness are non-negotiable. The team owns four core strategic pillars: - Unified Ledger: Maintaining a single, high-scale system of record that ingests raw transactions from source systems and makes them accounting-ready. - Automated Accounting & Books Closure: Running tech-driven accounting and automated month-end books closure across 15+ product lines with zero manual intervention from Finance teams. - Global Tax & Invoicing: Powering dynamic multi-country tax regimes (GST, VAT, TDS) and automated invoice generation for customers and service partners. - Partner & Vendor Payouts: Building scalable payout engines to ensure 50,000+ service partners and vendors are paid accurately, predictably, and on time. - As a listed company, what this team builds directly shapes reported financials, statutory compliance and partner trust.
