Our take
Many professionals find their time taken up by administrative tasks and operational processes, leaving them fewer hours to focus on the work they love. 8am (formerly AffiniPay) supplies finance, payments and management software to make these processes swifter and easier, saving users precious time.
The company has a wide range of products including payments and reporting for accountants, legal case management software, and operations assistance for nonprofits. This broad scope allows 8am to serve a myriad of professionals across legal, accounting, construction, design and association.
The company has seen significant investment which has allowed it to grow, innovate and extend its suite of solutions. Its rebrand to 8am followed a series of acquisitions through which it expanded its scope - with the various products now delivered under one unified brand.
