The Company:

Athennian is a technology company that increases trust in business. Our products help legal, finance, and tax teams be transaction and audit-ready by organizing business entity and corporate structure information. Over 370,000 business entities in almost every country are managed on Athennian to automate workflows for ownership, company secretarial, governance, tax, and compliance. Headquartered in Calgary with offices in Toronto and Vancouver and remote co-workers throughout North America, it’s fair to say we live on our Slack channel rather than in a physical space.
