Billhighway's expansion continued through 2012 as the Troy-based tech firm hired more than a dozen people and continued to add more employees in the first month of this year.
The 13-year-old company hired 15 people in 2012 for a broad range of jobs, including software development, sales and accounting. It recently hired a new sales engineer and a company team player that handles things like event coordination. Sources declined to name a specific number of employees but said the total number is between 50-100 people.
"We continue to hire people," says John Schelske, COO of
Billhighway. "We have brought people in from a couple of different areas. It's a pretty diverse range."
Billhighway got its start when its founder, Vince Thomas, was trying to divide bills between himself and friends while attending Eastern Michigan University. He created software that now helps organizations allocate expenses for everything from dues to dinner costs.
"We have grown through both organic growth through existing clients and some new clients as well," Schelske says.
One of the drivers of that growth is a product that includes payment processing, online banking and financial accounting. It has proven to be popular with non-profits and membership organizations, Schelske adds.
