We’re excited to share that Vic.ai has been ranked #229 on the 2026 Forbes America’s Best Startup Employers list.
This recognition is especially meaningful because Forbes evaluates companies based on employee satisfaction, company reputation, and growth — three things we work hard to nurture every day.
For us, the ranking is more than a milestone. It’s a reflection of the people, culture, and mission that power everything we do.
At Vic.ai, we’re building AI that transforms how finance teams work. But just as importantly, we’re building a company where talented people can learn, grow, and do the most impactful work of their careers.
A startup journey built on innovation
Vic.ai’s recognition on the Forbes list reflects nearly a decade of innovation and growth.
Founded in 2016 in Norway, Vic.ai set out to transform accounting with AI built specifically for finance teams. Early on, the company invested heavily in domain-trained AI, training proprietary models on more than 100 million accounting documents to deliver highly accurate financial intelligence.
That approach quickly gained traction. After securing early funding, Vic.ai accelerated product development and introduced major innovations like Autopilot and autonomous approval flows, helping finance teams automate more of their accounts payable processes.
In the years since, Vic.ai has expanded globally, entered the U.S. market, and grown rapidly while continuing to push the boundaries of AI-driven finance automation — including the recent introduction of agentic AP capabilities.
For employees, that momentum creates a unique opportunity: the chance to help build category-defining technology while growing alongside a fast-moving AI company.
A culture built around people and values
If you ask employees what makes Vic.ai special, the answer is almost always the same: the people.
“Our colleagues — at every level and in every department — are friendly, talented, and mission-driven,” says Jack Reid, Data Analytics Manager. “We genuinely enjoy one another’s company, which I think is a big reason why we’ve been able to design and launch so many paradigm-shifting products.”
At Vic.ai, our culture is guided by a shared set of values that emphasize putting people first, acting with integrity, and turning ideas into action. Just as important is something simple but powerful: kindness. We believe great teams are built not only on talent and ambition, but also on respect, empathy, and supporting one another.
From engineering and product to sales, operations, and customer success, Vic.ai is built around collaboration, trust, and shared ownership.
“The best part of working here is the people: collaborative, driven, and always pushing each other to be better,” says Anna Klombies, SVP of People. “When you bring together talented individuals who care deeply about what they’re building, innovation happens naturally.”
That culture shows up in how teams work together every day. Cross-functional collaboration isn’t just encouraged; it’s expected.
“Love the team spirit, work ethic, and collaboration every single Vicster brings to the table,” says Richa Joshi, Senior Technical Product Manager.
Empowered to make an impact
One thing employees consistently highlight is the level of ownership and autonomy they have at Vic.ai.
“I truly appreciate the trust and autonomy I’ve been given to take on impactful and challenging responsibilities,” says Mistoura Descloux, Director of Engineering.
That ownership extends across the company. Whether someone is improving product capabilities, supporting customers, or bringing new ideas to market, individuals are empowered to make meaningful contributions.
“We hire people who want to solve hard problems and give them the space to do it,” says Klombies. “Our teams are trusted to experiment, innovate, and push boundaries, and that’s where the magic happens.”
Building technology that makes a real difference
Vic.ai employees are united by a shared mission: transforming accounts payable with AI. For many, the most fulfilling part of the job is seeing how their work impacts customers.
“As someone who works directly with Vic.ai’s end users, I am continuously motivated by the ‘wow’ factor we provide,” says Steph Hartnett, Solutions Consultant. “Customers are often amazed by our AI’s accuracy and the significant decreases in invoice processing times.”
The opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI and see it make a measurable impact keeps the team’s momentum strong.
“Working at Vic.ai is an energizing experience,” says Alex Meade, Account Executive. “Customers are impressed by our products, and every day we’re helping organizations drive meaningful change.”
Growth, learning, and opportunity
Startups are fast-paced by nature, and the environment creates opportunities to grow quickly and take on new challenges.
“One of the things I love most about working at Vic.ai is the team and the incredible sense of community. The fast-paced environment keeps me engaged and constantly learning — there’s never a dull moment, and I thrive on the challenge,” says Natasha Santiago-Body, Director of Engineering Operations.
At Vic.ai, career growth comes from tackling meaningful problems and collaborating with talented teammates.
“We want people to know they can build a career here, not just have a job,” says Klombies. “That means supporting professional growth, encouraging new ideas, and helping people stretch into new opportunities.”
Benefits that support the whole person
Alongside a mission-driven culture, Vic.ai offers benefits designed to support employees both professionally and personally.
These include:
- Competitive compensation and equity
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage
- Flexible work options
- Generous time off
- Wellness stipend and volunteer opportunities
- Opportunities for learning and development
Our goal is simple: create an environment where people can do their best work while maintaining balance and wellbeing.
