The company to introduce the most innovative solutions: Aider

The Silicon Review

Aider is an early-stage, innovative tech company. The team offer intelligent software solutions for Accountants and Bookkeepers. Aider started with a small, ingenious team, and is gradually growing. It is the talented people at Aider that make up the magic and growth of the products – without their collective expertise, the team wouldn’t be where the team is today. The team opened up the Aider office in Auckland, New Zealand, and since then, has expanded internationally. The team has a diverse and talented team spread across a variety of countries, now with an organisational presence in Australia too. Since conception, the mission of Aider has been to help small businesses. This started with the Mobile App, which guides SMB owners with their day-to-day business, and has since grown to help accountants and bookkeepers optimise AI to provide more proactive advisory, which, in turn, helps their SMB clients. The team believes the best solution is a combination of artificial intelligence and real human intelligence. What the team does here at Aider always comes back to the mission: to help the customers.

Something else very important to the team is the team. From the software developers to the customer specialists and sales and marketing creatives, every member of the team plays an integral part in the success of the products. At Aider, the team believes in the power of AI and how it can transform business. The team consists of forward-thinkers, and because of this the team value continuous innovation. The team is always updating and improving the software. The team partner with many innovative companies, and the team see them as extensions of the own team. They have helped Aider become what it is today. At Aider, the team work hard and play hard. The team takes care of itself and encourages a healthy work-life balance. The team looks after the team mates and the team takes time to breathe and balance the thinking. At Aider, the team collaborates and communicates. The team works as a team, and support one another with the ideas and workload.

Instead of having to sift through data and switch between tabs in Xero, with Aider the clients have an aggregated view of the clients’ clients’ data – all in one intuitive financial dashboard. With the hours of time that the clients save by letting Aider do the data analysis for the clients, the clients have the opportunity to upsell services to the clients’ clients.
