SAINVUS

The Leading CPA Platform In The U.S.

Supporting CPAs in delivering trusted advice and value-added services to their clients.

Who We Are

SAINVUS is the preeminent platform to acquire, support, and grow CPA practices in the US.

We believe the trusted relationship a CPA has with their client is under appreciated today and represents an opportunity to offer clients a broader range of important financial and business services.

SAINVUS looks to provide CPAs with the tools that support them as trusted service providers to their clients by offering a range of value-added services and advice.

By combining client service excellence, cutting-edge technology, back-office administrative support where needed and sales and marketing best practices, we aim to enhance revenue growth, improve operational efficiency, and enhance overall profitability while elevating the CPA’s experience serving their clients.

We bring a patient approach to value creation with a long-term investment horizon of 7-10+ years.
