Orlando, Fla. – Viewpost, a financial services company that specializes in electronic invoicing and payments on a secure business-to-business network, will expand its presence in Maitland creating 262 jobs over the next three years and making a capital investment of more than $1.9 million in the region.

Every job has an impact on families.  It is thanks to job creators like Viewpost that Florida is on the way to become the world’s number one destination for jobs.”

Viewpost is a financial services software company that specializes in electronic invoicing and payments. The expansion will include programming and software development jobs representing a variety of salary levels with a combined average annual salary almost double the Orlando metropolitan region. The creation of 262 new jobs will be in addition to retaining more than 180 positions currently employed at the company’s Maitland facility.

“I was born and raised in the Orlando area and I’m deeply grateful for the supportive business environment our elected officials and investment community have nurtured. I’m pleased that Viewpost’s success will in turn have a positive impact on the region,” said CEO Max Eliscu. “Our impact is also felt in the greater marketplace, where the inefficiency and waste in how businesses invoice, communicate and pay one another is staggeringly expensive for everyone, and the environment. The Viewpost team has been incredible, exceeding expectations every month to help any size company remove these costly barriers. We’re bringing on more talent to continue developing a holistic solution that meets the needs of our rapidly growing customer base. It’s an exciting time at our company.”

Florida has many advantages to offer financial and professional services companies, including its global connectivity, experienced workforce and favorable business climate.

In addition, Florida is ranked third in the nation for high-tech establishments, and has one of the largest computer systems design and integration industry fields.

Secretary of Commerce and president & CEO of Enterprise Florida Gray Swoope said, “The expansion of Viewpost in Orlando is exciting news for Florida’s financial and professional industry. Florida is home to more than 100,000 financial and professional firms employing more than 850,000 Floridians, and this sector will continue to grow thanks to companies like Viewpost. We appreciate them choosing Florida for their expansion and look forward to their continued success.”

Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Executive Director Jesse Panuccio said, “Companies like Viewpost are contributing daily to Florida’s remarkable economic turnaround and these more than 250 new jobs over the next few years will help the Orlando area continue to grow and thrive. High-tech, high-wage jobs, like those Viewpost will add, are growing in the state thanks to this administration’s focus on pro-growth and business-friendly policies.”

“Viewpost’s expansion underscores the availability of high-quality talent in Florida to help businesses grow and succeed,” said CareerSource Florida President/CEO Chris Hart IV. “We remain committed to ensuring this Central Florida company and others like it can connect to the right skills at the right time to create and retain jobs that cultivate new economic opportunities.”
