By providing one streamlined platform and one system of record, businesses can leverage the new modern workforce where the number of freelancers in the labor force will soon be equal to the number of permanent employees.
WHY: Company will use investment to expand its freelancer payment platform to respond to the increased demand for new software, compliance, and payment solutions driven by the shift to flexible work.
