Accounting firm network blending boutique culture with enterprise infrastructure
Platform Accounting Group operates a multi-office accounting firm network built on Microsoft 365, Redtail CRM, and QuickBooks. The hiring mix skews 95% toward finance and tax roles with minimal engineering headcount, reflecting a professional-services-first model rather than a tech-product one. Active migration projects and pain points cluster around legacy system consolidation and peak-season capacity — operational challenges typical of a scaling franchise network, not product development.
Platform Accounting Group is a privately held accounting and professional services network founded in 2015, operating across the United States and Switzerland with 1,001–5,000 employees. The firm combines tax advisory, attest services, outsourced accounting, ERP consulting, and planned wealth management under a unified operating structure while maintaining independent local firm autonomy. Technology spine consists of Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, Exchange, Entra ID, Intune), QuickBooks, Redtail CRM for client relationship management, and Checkpoint for tax compliance. Current operational focus centers on integrating newly acquired firms through Microsoft 365 tenant migration, lifting legacy systems to cloud infrastructure, and developing repeatable retention and growth playbooks across the network.
