Billhighway has some big expectations for its future growth, and it's already adding staff in anticipation of it.
The Troy-based firm, which describes itself as a “provider of cloud-based automation solutions for nonprofits” has hired five people over the last year, including positions in sales, business development and software development. It also has three open positions for software developers.
"The company is the product. We write everything (software code) ourselves," says Bob Anzivino, director of IT & security for
Billhighway. "There is a lot of R&D work going on here so we need the help."
Billhighway got its start in 1999 as software that helps people divvy up expenses, such as dues or dinner costs. Today it helps non-profits and other organizations deal with their finances.
The company currently employs just under 50 people. Anzivino, who was recently promoted to his job, explains that it can be hard to pin down an exact number of staff because new hires mean staffing levels change fairly quickly. The reason why is to keep up with revenue growth and projected growth over the next year.
"We expect fairly meteoric growth in the next 12 months," Anzivino says. "That's good for us and our clients. We are preparing for that."
