Boundless is an Employer of Record (EOR) helping companies employ people around the world seamlessly and compliantly. They take care of payroll, taxes and benefits so businesses can focus on growing their team with confidence.
Boundless operate across 30+ countries from their Dublin headquarters, and have built significant scale since their seed funding round.
Going through rapid growth and global expansion, Boundless needed to fill gaps within their finance function — quickly and at short notice. To keep operations running smoothly, they needed access to the right talent, at the right time.
For them, the solution was to bring in experienced finance professionals who could hit the ground running and understand the specific challenges they faced in their fast-growing, multi-entity business.
We mobilised support within just two weeks of initial contact, helping Boundless plug their immediate gaps at a time where they needed all hands on deck.
Before long, our support evolved into a 5 days per week secondment, with one of our FinOps Analysts helping Boundless full-time.
Throughout our work, we have focused on areas like:
With a flexible model, we were able to get Boundless exactly the right skillsets, at exactly the right time. This allowed Boundless to understand their future finance requirements — without the commitment, delay and risk of starting full-time hires.
Working together gave Boundless the stability and expertise they needed during a critical period.
As the business matured and grew more complex, they hired a CFO and subsequently recruited two members of our team directly — a real testament to the quality of our FinOps team.
This model meant Boundless got the best of both worlds; immediate support, the flexibility to scale and adapt support as they grew and ultimately the opportunity to bring the team in-house when the time was right.
We’re proud to have helped Boundless:
With you every week. In your team, on your systems and in your slack.
No long contracts. Scale the team up and down based on your needs.
Supported by our wider team, their experience and best practice.
"RORA have got on top of our accounts, payroll, and R&D. They've improved our accounting and finance function. Definitely recommend!"
"I'm sitting here feeling like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! And we're only just getting started..."
"My advice for anyone considering RORA is to go for it. I don't know how we ever survived without them."
"RORA was recommended as the perfect flexible support solution. After a year, with FinOps, and now PeopleOps too, we could not be happier."
"I would definitely recommend RORA to any scaling business, you get expert knowledge at the cadence that suits, so you get the balance of resources needed to continue to grow."
"The team have done more with the business in a couple of weeks than our accountant has been all year. It's the standard we'd hope to hire at!"
