Our Story

From our beginnings in 2011, when our founding team in Wollongong, Australia, launched the AffinityLive Beta, Accelo has been on an incredible journey of growth and innovation. We expanded our presence with the opening of our Denver office in 2018. In 2023, we launched Accelo v4, a major upgrade that showcased our commitment to continuous improvement. This set the stage for future advancements, aligning with our mission to provide top-notch solutions for professional service businesses.

With the acquisition by Bow River Capital in 2024, we are now poised for an exciting new chapter. This partnership enables us to deepen our product features, expand globally, and empower our clients to deliver exceptional services with unparalleled efficiency and insight.
