About TriNet:

For over 30 years, TriNet has been providing access to human capital expertise, a wide array of rich benefits, risk mitigation and compliance, payroll and R&D Tax credits – all on a cutting-edge technology first platform.
About Escalon:
If you’re like us, you’re in business to do what you love—build great products, teams, and customer relationships. Paying bills, generating financial reports, sending invoices, managing taxes, and running payroll are necessary and often urgent - distractions. At Escalon, we help you focus on what you love by handling your non-core and necessary back-office work. Escalon was founded in 2006 in Palo Alto, CA, to serve small and medium-sized businesses and non-profits. In 2020, we made a significant stride by acquiring Early Growth, the leading CFO, accounting, and tax services provider to venture-backed startups. This was followed by another milestone in 2022 when we acquired Full Stack Finance, a leading finance and HR services provider to startups and private equity-backed businesses. The combined companies have provided outsourced finance, accounting, tax, HR, and insurance services to over 20,000 customers in more than 40 countries.
