Origins
FinancialForce was founded by Jeremy Roche in 2009 with an investment from UNIT4, and salesforce.com. The resulting cloud accounting system was a single-ledger design that enables real-time financial management and is built on salesforce.com's technology platform, Force.com.
The company started by specializing in accounting and billing solutions that are built on the Force.com platform, therefore making them closely coupled with Salesforce CRM applications. In December 2010, FinancialForce purchased Appirio's Professional Services Enterprise (PSE) product, which later was renamed FinancialForce Professional Services Automation.
In November 2013, during FinancialForce's annual customer day, the company announced the acquisitions of Supply Chain Management vendor Less Software and Human Capital Management vendor Vana Workforce and their intention to round out the back office applications portfolio.
In February 2014, the company unveils FinancialForce ERP. Built on the Salesforce Platform, FinancialForce ERP connects customers, employees, partners and products into a single system.
In April 2014, FinancialForce received $50 million in funding from Advent International.
In March 2015, the company receives $110 million in funding from Technology Crossover Ventures and Salesforce Ventures.
In January 2017, FinancialForce appointed former Salesforce and Heroku executive Tod Nielsen as CEO and President.
