"Aiwyn is committed to empowering CPA firms to elevate their operations and client relationships," said Justin Adams, Chairman & CEO of Aiwyn. "With this investment, we are poised to redefine how firms manage their operations from the CRM to the General Ledger while setting a new benchmark for client experiences. For too long, firms have had to decide between a legacy vendor or modern point solutions. We are proud that Aiwyn is a trusted platform for CPA firms."
