“Can an AI copilot replace the SMB bookkeeper by sitting on top of QuickBooks/Xero rather than displacing them?”
Tyms started life as AjoMoney in 2020 — a Nigeria-focused microcredit and digital-ROSCA platform for informal traders. It pivoted into finance and accounting automation software (rebranding to Tyms) and, more recently, into an AI accounting copilot branded 'Adam by Tyms' targeting small businesses, startups, and CPA firms globally with QuickBooks/Xero integration, bank sync, and tax filing via certified partners. PitchBook records the company as acquired/merged, operating as a subsidiary.
Tyms connects to bank accounts through Stripe Financial Connections.
Tyms is founded in 2020 and headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, US (HQ address); operations Lagos, Nigeria.
