We’re delighted to have him lead Intacct to the next level. I’d also like to thank Bob Jurkowski for building Intacct’s business to its current successful position.”
“Intacct is an exciting place to be,” said Braun. “We have the ingredients for a giant success. Intacct is targeting the largest application software market on earth – financial solutions. Every business needs a financial system, and we’ve proven the value of our solution to over 2,000 existing customers. Businesses around the world are scrapping traditional enterprise software systems in favor of solutions from companies like Intacct, who know how to deliver value ‘on-demand.’ The timing is right for Intacct to harness the wind at its back.”
