Layer was founded in 2023 by former Square Banking product lead Justin Meretab to bring embedded accounting to vertical SaaS and SMB fintech platforms — filling the gap left as embedded payments/payroll matured but SMBs still relied on standalone QuickBooks. Its wedge is providing white-labeled bookkeeping and general ledger infrastructure that platforms like Moxie, Nav, and Dripos embed inside their own products. The company is explicitly positioned as a QuickBooks replacement rather than a connector, though it still offers QuickBooks OAuth for migration.
