Acorns Careers

Acorns is a U.S.-based financial technology company that provides automated investing, banking, and personal finance tools designed to help individuals grow wealth through small, consistent contributions. Founded in 2012 by Walter and Jeff Cruttenden, the company became widely known for pioneering "micro‑investing," allowing users to automatically invest spare change from everyday purchases into diversified portfolios of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Its mission is to make investing accessible to everyone, particularly first-time investors and younger consumers who may feel excluded from traditional wealth management services.

Headquartered in Irvine, California, Acorns has grown into one of the most recognized consumer fintech platforms in the United States, serving millions of subscribers. The platform offers a suite of products including Acorns Invest, Acorns Later (retirement accounts), Acorns Checking, and Acorns Early, a family-focused financial education and investing product launched after the company’s acquisition of youth banking platform GoHenry. With several hundred employees and strong venture backing, Acorns is regarded as a leading player in the micro‑investing and financial wellness space.
