About
Matt Lescault founded TydeCo™ in 2006 with a unique vision: To build an industry-leading business with a rock-solid reputation for outsourced accounting, bookkeeping, and CFO services. The idea was to create a firm that integrated accounting, systems, and strategic support for growing businesses, using the power of automation, integration, and high-level strategy.
Matt's done his time in the trenches, personally managing clients' financial records while building a team of experts in diverse sectors and nurturing long-term client relationships. Now the CEO of TydeCo™, Matt focuses on growing the brand. The increasing number of global partnerships is indicative of his success.
Partnerships aren't a clients-only thing. He's also worked hard to establish healthy relationships with some of the biggest players in financial software, including QuickBooks, Ramp, and Xero. However, the biggest partnership and the one he's particularly proud of is with Sage and its broad range of products.
Growth is Matt's watchword, and not just for the company. He's determined to provide his team members with opportunities for personal and professional development, creating an environment where people thrive.
Expertise
Matt's expertise runs deep. Not only does he have first-hand experience working with the ins and outs of financial operations, but he also understands the tools and systems they use. Basically, he understands back-end processes enough to design a comprehensive ecosystem of cooperative products, like ERP, CRM, and HR & payroll.
He's also become a bit of a specialist in several industries and their unique financial requirements, from nonprofits to healthcare and wineries. Given that he's grown TydeCo™ into a global enterprise-level wunderhaus, it's not surprising that clients seek out his guidance when scaling their businesses.
If growth is Matt's watchword, his byword is values. TydeCo™ doesn't just provide services; instead, it's founded on partnerships, trust, collaboration, and sustainable growth. It's part of what makes TydeCo™ stand out in a crowded financial services market.
The (financial software services) world is Matt's oyster, and he has every intention to continue breaking through "glass ceilings" as far as capability, culture, and ambition go.
"I’ve always believed in building something different—something that challenges people, connects them across geographies, and creates real value beyond the transaction."
