bio
Confirming financial data is all about finding truth, and truth should be easy to find. But for auditors, bankers, lawyers, and credit managers, it’s often difficult. We’re auditors. We get it. That’s why we built Confirmation, now Part of Thomson Reuters. Our platform is the choice for easy validation of financial and other sensitive data. We pioneered the idea of digital confirmations in 2000 and still lead the industry today. More than 16,000 audit firms, 4,000 banks and departments, and 5,000 law firms have put our platform to work. We span 170 countries and process more than one trillion dollars in confirmations each year.

This is a core reason why Confirmation was on the Inc. 500 2 years in a row and on the Inc. 5000 for an incredible 10 years straight.
