inDinero Acquires tempCFO to Create an Outsourced Seed-to-Exit Financial Solution for High-Growth Startups

PORTLAND, Ore. & SAN JOSE, Calif., May 8, 2018 (Newswire.com) - inDinero and tempCFO are joining forces in a conjunction that brings the biggest benefits of fintech and accessible expertise to the SMB financial services market.

“The accounting industry has historically been divided into thousands of small, regionally based firms,” says Keddrick Stuart, COO of inDinero. “By bringing complementary strengths from inDinero and tempCFO together, we can provide a solution from inception to IPO that gives businesses real value from financials."

Really good accountants are embracing automation as a way to move up the value chain to do what they love — consult with the business owner on ways to save money and bring more products to market.

Jessica Mah, Founder & CEO, inDinero

inDinero is the industry-leading financial technology provider for tech business and tempCFO is a pioneer in outsourced accounting expertise for startups and growth businesses. “tempCFO has mastered the process side and for us, the next step is technology/AI and that’s what inDinero does very well,” says David Johnson, founder of tempCFO and now president of inDinero + tempCFO.

• AI and automation are freeing accounting professionals from the burdens of basic bookkeeping so they can add more value for clients.
• Startups and other high-growth businesses are hungry for outsourced solutions to manage the back office at an affordable cost.
• Combining forces and resources means faster, more widespread innovation to modernize the B2B fintech industry so that we can serve more of the market we want to help.

Adapt and Excel — Modern Accounting is Here

“In 1999, outsourced accounting was a taboo, but just like with the cloud, people began to adapt and see the benefits over time,” says Johnson. And as he’s looked to grow tempCFO’s team, Johnson recognizes that it’s not just today’s markets demanding automation, but also job seekers. “The new generation of accountants want to focus on being accountants, not data-entry bookkeeping.”

Jessica Mah, co-founder and CEO of inDinero, shares the same mentality. In a 2015 interview with Forbes, Mah explained the vision for accounting technology. “Really good accountants are embracing automation as a way to move themselves up the value chain to do what they love — consult with the business owner on ways to save money and bring more products to market.”

Today, that vision is something Mah says the market understands. She says, “In 2018, if a business is paying someone to do its bookkeeping, it’s wasting money on what technology has already automated away.”  

Innovation Takes a Village

inDinero and tempCFO have built strong businesses as individual entities over the last decade, but the next phase of this growth will be a partnership. It’s a journey Johnson and Mah hope other like-minded leaders will join. “Collective resources means we can be a major player in the fintech revolution and that we can help more businesses,” said Johnson. Both leaders are excited to see what the next 10-plus years have in store.
