Our company is a fast-paced business that operates in the back-office space for micro SMEs. We have developed proprietary software and AI to make our services easy to use. Our team focuses on customer satisfaction, ensuring that entrepreneurs can concentrate on growing their businesses.

We operate three distinct business segments:

2. Accounting & Bookkeeping: In this segment, we redefine what it means to do accounting, bookkeeping, tax, and payroll thanks to our proprietary ledger, AI tools, and exceptional customer service.
3. FinTech payments: This segment addresses a key challenge for entrepreneurs by offering digital banking services to new businesses.

Over the past five years, we have achieved compound annual growth in revenue exceeding 70%. As a result, we have been recognized by reputable publications such as The Financial Times, The Straits Times, Forbes, and LinkedIn as one of the fastest-growing companies in Asia.
