Our Mission
At Reapra, we're not your typical venture builder. We are in the business of building the next generation of entrepreneurs that influences long term social change in our society. Our 20-year vision is to create businesses that integrate business success, social contribution and long term well-being from Day 1. We're a group of awkward and introspective individuals experimenting a new way of business building by pushing the boundaries of the traditional approach towards managing a company's Pamp;L.
The problem our team is trying to solve
Are you tired of the conventional path in accounting? Have you noticed that there is a gap of empathy between accounting members and the rest of the Company? Or wonder for hours why some of these accounting rules don’t seem to make sense? Despite all this tension you feel, you are driven by your curiosity towards creating a way to make it easily relatable to others. If yes, we're looking to work with you to redefine the future of bookkeeping and fair valuation audit for our portfolio of entrepreneurs.
