About Mitrefinch

In 1979, a new company called Mitrefinch was established in the UK. It focused on a specific business need: helping organizations manage their workforce. The company developed software for time and attendance, payroll, and HR, providing tools to track employee hours and streamline administrative tasks. For decades, Mitrefinch grew steadily, building a customer base across various industries, from manufacturing to retail. A key moment in their journey arrived in 2016 when the private equity firm LDC invested over £20 million. This capital injection was a playbook move to accelerate growth. It enabled Mitrefinch to transition its on-premise software to a more modern, cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. The investment paid off. Over the next four years, Mitrefinch expanded internationally and saw its revenues double. This successful transformation and growth captured the attention of a larger player. In October 2020, the British software company Advanced announced it was acquiring Mitrefinch. This acquisition was a strategic play for Advanced, strengthening its position in the Human Capital Management (HCM) market and integrating Mitrefinch's workforce management tools into its own cloud HR offerings.
