Cartwheel- On a mission to help the staffing industry get paid faster

Our Story

We started Cartwheel with a big goal in mind

In 2016, our founder, Stephen Wigginton noticed first-hand how hard it was for organizations to collect payment, and he decided to do something about it. Similarly, our CEO, Mani, encountered this challenge in his role as the Chief Product Officer for a rapidly growing startup. He frequently used staffing agencies to help him find permanent and contract talent. He was surprised when a trusted, reliable staffing agency went bankrupt. This prompted him to dig into the challenges, understanding how thin margins and cashflow problems affected them. 


Together, Mani and Stephen built Cartwheel- both the team and the product- to revolutionize accounts receivables for the staffing industry. With Cartwheel's accounts receivable automation, organizations can free themselves from burdensome manual processes, gain clear insights into cash flow and client trends, and most importantly, get paid faster.
