Atlanta-based IPA 100 firm Aprio (FY24 net revenue: $485.3 million) has doubled down on its five-year, $300 million AI and automation investment with the acquisition of TimeCredit, a 2024 AICPA and CPA.com Startup Accelerator company. The move marks a major leap in Aprio’s mission to become an AI-enabled firm that delivers smarter, faster, and more impactful services across audit, tax, legal, and advisory practices.
TimeCredit’s AI-driven automation platform enhances speed and accuracy in accounting workflows and now becomes a cornerstone of Aprio’s AI ecosystem.
