About

Why did we start Abacor?

It all started with a simple question

Why is the accounting industry facing a talent shortage?

After more than a decade in the profession, we lived the answer: mind-numbing admin, endless number crunching, and work that too often costs nights, weekends, and purpose. In conversations with 200+ firms this past year, the pattern was unmistakable: shrinking teams, rising pressure, and new graduates choosing other paths.

The status quo is broken and everyone knows it. But we believe there is a better way. Abacor exists to rewrite what accounting work feels like, making it meaningful, respected, and balanced. Accountants deserve more, including more respect, more joy in their work, and the freedom to live fully beyond deadlines. It is time to build a future where accountants feel valued, supported, and proud.

Who are we?

We've personally felt the pain, it's time for change

We were accountants at PwC, Deloitte, and Crowe turned product builders at Microsoft, Amazon, Stripe, and Gusto. We’ve walked in your shoes, faced your struggles, and deeply understand the challenges you experience every day. This profession has given us so much. Now it's our turn to give back.

We’re not here for the AI hype. We’re here because we believe AI can be the catalyst for change this industry desperately needs.

From day one, we’ve been building the future side-by-side with accountants and firms who are excited about the future and possibilities. Our team, advisors, and investors bring deep industry expertise, having built some of your favorite products.

We believe the tools used by accountants tomorrow should be built by accountants today. The future of accounting should be shaped by experts who has experienced the pain themselves.

Accountants selflessly support businesses and individuals with their financial health around the world. Abacor exists to give back and be there for accountants — empowering you to be the trusted advisor your clients count on.

From the moment I started using Abacor, I could tell it was built with the user in mind. The platform is intuitive, fast, and effortless to navigate. What stood out most was how smoothly it handles tasks that would normally take much longer. The clean interface and thoughtful features make work more efficient and even enjoyable.
