   Brightside

   Aug 2025 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   Brightside created Financial Care, a new category in employee benefits. We’re on a mission to improve the financial health of the seven in 10 working families living paycheck to paycheck. How? By partnering with progressive employers who understand financial wellness is a critical pillar to the wellbeing of their employees – and their organization. We then combine behavioral science, technology, and care to meet employees where they are, in the moments that matter most, and support them in establishing financial comfort. Our (human) Financial Assistants get to know every person they serve, listening without judgment to help them understand and overcome their unique needs and barriers to financial health. All to ultimately stretch the paycheck, minimize stress, and maximize hope. Our difference? Providing Financial Care that leads to financial wellbeing.
