We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy, so we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started in San Francisco in 2009 with a little white credit card reader and we now serve millions of businesses around the world. We came to the UK in 2017, our fifth global market, and provide hardware and software solutions that help sellers of all sizes start, run and grow their business. 

We’re empowering SMEs across the UK to take card payments wherever their customers are - in person, by invoice, over the phone or online. Our Square Reader and Square Stand help our sellers accept Chip & PIN and Contactless payments quickly, easily and affordably. Our Cash app lets people pay each other back instantly. We’re shortening the distance between having an idea and making a living from it—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

The Finance & Strategy team is responsible for improving strategic and financial decision-making across the company. Finance & Strategy team members have an intimate understanding of Square's business. We gain this by leveraging tools like Excel and SQL to evaluate customer and financial trends, answer business questions with data-driven insights, and communicate actionable recommendations.
