Our take
While a myriad of tools are currently used in accounting, Silverfin aims to offer a central platform that brings in client's real-time financial data and processes it automatically. Integrating well with existing software, the platform is used to manage the finances of tens of thousands of businesses, directly or indirectly.
In the accounting industry's digital transformation, Silverfin aims to be at the forefront. In addition to automating workflows, the platform can be used to run analytics on the data collected to deliver value-added advisory services to clients. Having expanded beyond Ghent to London, Denmark and the Netherlands, the company has proven its potential and has a chance to seize further success in the future.
