“I am excited to work with Enrico and his talented team as they continue to scale and create the future of bookkeeping.” “Botkeeper has built a solution capable of supporting companies of all shapes and sizes- startups through Fortune 5000 companies. After hearing raving reviews from clients at both ends of the spectrum, it was obvious that botkeeper had pulled it off,” said Mark Terbeek, Partner at Greycroft. “We quickly decided that we needed Botkeeper ourselves, and needless to say, we saw the value overnight. Every company needs great bookkeeping, but all too often we see companies who still struggle to get it done right. We are thrilled to partner with a world-class company like botkeeeper that can get it right- every time.” We embraced the notion that growth in accounting—for firms, accountants, CFOs, consultants, and everyone else in the industry—was growth for our economy. What we were building with the Botkeeper platform was directly related to the success of people and business, from Fortune 500 companies down to sole proprietors who are just getting started with their entrepreneurial dreams. But our savvy team was determined to make a splash with the revolutionary technology they were building; they knew bookkeeping could be easier and less prone to error—and that accountants needed such a solution ASAP.
