About the team 

Our Revenue and Finance Automation (RFA) suite gives businesses power over the entire life cycle of their cash flow. By coordinating billing, tax, reporting, and data services in one modern stack, Stripe’s RFA suite eliminates the inefficiencies of legacy finance tools and supports revenue growth.
