**Who We Are**

We’re passionate about the English language, and we design software that helps writers and editors produce their very best work. Our product, PerfectIt, is the leading proofreading software for independent editors, proposal managers, medical writers, and publications teams.

We’re a profitable, 25-person company that works 100% remote across the UK and USA.
