Bill Palombi

Product Leader & Builder in Washington, DC

Today

I lead product at Tight, building embedded accounting for SaaS and fintech platforms. With our AI-native general ledger and MCP server, agents do the books for small businesses.

Previously

I helped scale FiscalNote, Enigma, and Prefect from $1M to $10M+, growing from individual contributor to leading product and solutions engineering teams. A lot of my work has been taking messy data and AI systems from pilot to production for banks, fintechs, and government agencies. Twice, former teams have brought me back to build something new.
