Our take
Accounting is a necessary and central function of any business. Due to game-changing innovations in the space, carrying out that function efficiently and in a cost-effective manner has never been easier. Translucent is a company hoping to take the computational revolution in accounting even further, with its data-led, next-gen accounting system.
Tranlucent's platform consolidates data from its clients' existing accounting solutions to create a single system of record. Its app suite, which is built atop the platform, then enables finance teams to search, report, and analyse this data - with additional capabilities including live sheets and automated multi-entity reconciliations.
With every business needing accounting software, the opportunity here is huge. Translucent has already secured funding, landed some impressive individuals and is looking for top performers to fill out the team. It intends to use funds to accelerate growth, as well as expand operations and its business reach.
