Every solution we offer can be brought together to form part of a complete financial close process platform, built by our team of delivery and software specialists.

 

"Our mission is to provide the solutions where large enterprises can take control of their closing processes. We want to give them the freedom to focus on other vital finance functions that provide the foundation for a company to grow." - Marko Voutilainen, CEO.

After all, Aico is there to give finance professionals a better and more meaningful work-life balance by easing and automating some of their current accounting processes. We're here to support their evolving business needs and grow together.”
