About Trintech

Trintech is a global provider of cloud-based financial software that streamlines the record-to-report process for the Office of the CFO. The company was founded in 1987 in Dublin, Ireland, by John McGuire, who started the venture while he was a student at Trinity College. McGuire, who has a background working with a commercial bank, initially grew the company by focusing on developing payment software for financial institutions and merchants in Europe before expanding to the United States.

The company's business model is centered on providing subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions that automate and manage financial close processes. Trintech serves a wide range of clients, from mid-sized companies to large enterprises, including a significant portion of the Fortune 100. Its customer base spans across various industries such as retail, financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing. Revenue is generated through subscriptions, with pricing tailored to factors like the organization's size, number of users, and selected modules.

Trintech offers a portfolio of financial close solutions, notably its Cadency platform for large enterprises and the Adra Suite for mid-market companies. Cadency is an end-to-end solution that manages all aspects of the financial close, including balance sheet reconciliation, journal entries, compliance, and financial reporting. The Adra Suite provides tools for transaction matching, balance sheet reconciliation, and close task management. A key product, CadencyDirect, is a native application on the ServiceNow platform, extending financial close workflows across the enterprise to departments like IT, legal, and procurement. The company's offerings are designed to reduce manual tasks, improve accuracy, mitigate risk, and free up finance professionals to focus on strategic analysis.

Significant milestones in Trintech's history include several strategic acquisitions. The company acquired Adra Software to expand its presence in the European market and broaden its solution portfolio. More recently, Trintech acquired the Frontier™ Reconciliation and Accurate™ Reconciliation business from Fiserv, adding over 400 clients and enhancing its capabilities, particularly in the financial services sector. The company is privately held, with backing from private equity firms such as Vista Equity Partners and Spectrum Equity.
