Pioneering Excellence
The Founding Journey of FinAdvantage
In 2013, four veterans of Big 4 accounting firms, shared a common goal: to offer valued customers more than just traditional accounting services. They sought to add more value to these solutions and help further empower businesses.
Their passion was validated when select VC and private equity clients, impressed by their vision, offered support for the founders’ mission by engaging FinAdvantage to help their M&A efforts and to support their portfolio companies’ accounting and operations needs. This trust from established investors and operators marked a pivotal moment in our growth.
