  • What opportunities have been created in the past
  • What’s holding back the industry now

Background

Most investors will be familiar with Fintech. But under Fintech is a unique niche that, for decades, has consistently been one of the most disrupted by technological innovation: Accounting Tech.


The accounting services market that Accounting Tech is targeting is projected to reach $1.5 Trillion USD by 2032.


The confluence of trends in recent decades, including digitalisation, the transition to cloud, APIs, open banking, alongside increasing pressure from governments and regulators to digitise as a driver of economic productivity and improved tax collection, are bringing what will likely be the most transformative wave of disruption the industry has seen to date. With the latest wave of AI innovation promising to bring down the last bastions of inefficiency and truly transform the industry like never before.


The Accounting Tech niche will provide many diverse opportunities to investors, in particular to those already familiar or active in Fintech.


From new category-defining winners that will reshape the industry, to a host of smaller businesses that form the ecosystem around them, or exit to legacy providers unable to innovate and thus buying their way into the future.


Yet, investment opportunities are mostly the privilege of industry insiders who understand the market dynamic and get access to deal flow before anyone else. We are on a mission to change that.
