Karbon, a practice management software provider for accounting, bookkeeping, tax and audit firms, has acquired Aider, a technology company specializing in AI-powered advisory and reporting tools.
Aider’s platform is used by firms across the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to automate bookkeeping and advisory workflows such as reconciliations and period close. By integrating Aider’s technology, Karbon aims to help firms eliminate repetitive tasks, automate reporting and deliver real-time client insights.
“This is a defining moment for the future of accounting practice management,” said Mary Delaney, CEO of Karbon. “With Aider, we’re accelerating the shift from administration to automation—giving firms the ability to scale without added overhead and deliver richer advice to their clients.”
Brendan Roberts, CEO and Founder of Aider, added: “We share a bold vision for the future where accounting is proactive, data-driven, and client-centric. Karbon is the ideal partner to scale that vision and deliver even more value to customers.”
The deal builds on Karbon’s recent innovations, including automated tax workflows and expanded client collaboration tools. The companies said the integration will bring AI-enabled period close, management reporting and advisory dashboards into Karbon’s platform, with additional workflow automation features planned.
