“Can embedded accounting become the wedge that turns every vertical SaaS platform into a full fintech financial hub for SMBs?”
Asset (legally Clevo Technologies Inc., d/b/a Asset) is an embedded accounting infrastructure company for software platforms serving SMBs. Founded by Cameron Frayne (previously worked on SMB accounting at Teal — acquired by Mercury — and Bench) and Alejandro Mesa (20+ years in data/infra across aerospace, NASCAR, and fintech). Positions itself as the accounting layer platforms need before layering on broader fintech products (payments, lending, cards) — 'start by helping SMBs manage their books and taxes, then become their complete financial hub.'
