A lot happens in a year, and this last year has been eventful, to say the least. We’ve changed the way we work, witnessed big investments in accounting firm competition, and joined forces with groundbreaking technology partners to create an even better automated accounting experience for firms of all sizes and specialties.

It all started with a near disaster—a cash catastrophe, if you will.

Botkeeper CEO and cofounder Enrico Palmerino was running a previous startup called ThinkLite, which was doing well and growing faster than most startups. But the company’s rapid growth meant that it was difficult to keep up with all their accounting needs. To sum it up, Enrico and team ran out of cash because they had no insight into what their cash flow or balance was due to delayed financials.
