Anduin is pleased to announce their rebranding under a new name–Aiwyn (pronounced “I win”) - as we expand to serve small and mid-sized CPA firms and enter the legal profession to serve law firms!

Aiwyn, meaning “wise friend,” is on a mission to unlock time and money for professional service firms. This new name reflects our company’s core focus: to counsel and guide firms toward accelerated and sustainable growth by leveraging the power of data and AI.

Aiwyn delivers dramatic ROI to firms:

- 51% decrease in overall days sales outstanding (DSO)
- 69% more invoices paid within 7 days
- 42% of late invoices paid after firms send just one Aiwyn 'Smart Statement'.



   “With Aiwyn, we’ve been able to streamline billing, enhance our client payment experience, and alleviate burdensome processing tasks from our staff.”

- Karen Crittenden, Director of Finance & Administration at Windham Brannon.

To learn more about how the Intelligence-Based Billing™ (IBB) platform can help your firm speed up cash flow, increase productivity, and enhance your client experience, please reach out directly to Bruce Abrams (VP, Sales) at [email protected].

Introducing the AGN Technical Resource Center (TRC)

Insider Knowledge


It’s not too late to sign up for this summer’s Advance Staff Training!

Why participate in development through AGN?

One of the major advantages of membership in AGN is the ability to build a personal network of friends and resources. AGN Advance provides the perfect opportunity to meet and connect with professionals at your level from across North America, and then to continue your training with the same peer group.

Knowledge sharing is a hallmark of AGN, and an incredible benefit of having your team attend training in a private, non-competitive environment. Instead of limiting instruction to a “one too many” format, we provide the opportunity for the class to explore solutions and ideas as a group, often providing insight and takeaways well beyond the curriculum.

Firms don’t need to worry that their most valued team members will be sitting next to competitors interested in recruiting them, instead the discussions will be more likely to garner ideas and solutions that can benefit the firm overall.

Learn more and register at https://my.agn.org/Advance.




Be well,
Cindy
