Fiverr Expands Its Finance Category
Fiverr has launched a new Financial Services vertical, offering nearly two dozen specialized services for businesses of all sizes. This expansion is designed to help startups, entrepreneurs, and established companies easily access experienced financial talent.
Fiverr’s new finance vertical includes seven main categories: Accounting Services, Corporate Finance, Financial Planning and Analysis, Fundraising, Personal Finance, Tax Consulting, and Wealth Management. The categories include specialized subcategories such as Fractional CFOs, Financial Modeling, and Fundraising Consultation, offering comprehensive financial expertise for every stage of business.
“Regardless of where they are in their company’s life cycle, businesses can now weave seasoned, agile, and flexible freelance CFOs, accountants, financial analysts, business consultants, and fundraising specialists into their workforce strategy from day-to-day projects to major moments of growth and transformation,” Yoav Hornung, head of Verticals and Innovation at Fiverr said in a press release.
This announcement comes as the finance services industry grows by 7.7% compared to last year. Experts project it will eventually account for 31% of the global economy.
Furthermore, two-thirds of finance companies rely on freelancers to support their operations and increase productivity. Fractional CFOs, in particular, are in high demand, often among new business owners. Additionally, Fiverr’s 2024 Spring Business Trends Index unveiled a dramatic increase in demand for financial services like business planning, fundraising, and economics globally.
Fiverr is rapidly evolving from its humble beginnings as a gig platform for people to buy and sell small services for $5 to a platform “that is changing how the world works together.” The company recently deepened its focus on e-commerce, acquiring the dropshipping automation tool AutoDS.
Fiverr also launched Fiiverr Agencies, a consulting category that connects industry experts with agencies to help them build their client base and make it easier for clients to find them.
