Automated Accounting as a Strategic Growth Engine
For many organizations, accounting is still viewed as a necessary back-office function—focused on closing the books, staying compliant, and keeping the lights on. But in
With the advent of so many industry solutions on Salesforce, now is
the right time to bring your accounting online to Salesforce. In conjunction with Accounting Seed, augeō helps you design solutions that capture and measure the financial impact of key Sales and Operating activities.
Need ongoing help with your accounting department? Augeō is run by accountants for accountants, offering training, staff augmentation, and full accounting outsource.
augeō is a remote accounting and process design firm that augments your finance operations inside Salesforce. Our approach blends real accounting experience with system design, giving you a lean, effective solution that your accountants will embrace. Through implementation services for a new client, or an augeō Health Check for existing clients, we will help you optimize the value of Accounting Seed.
Because our team is made up of accountants first, you get expert and practical guidance for your internal team and external providers, such as banks and tax preparers. Over time we will work with your accountants and IT teams to maximize the value and efficiency of the system.
Companies come to augeō when they want clarity, better controls, and a system that matches how their business operates. Many have dealt with messy builds, turnover, or setups that never aligned with their workflow.
Common reasons clients reach out:
augeō began when Ken Christiansen encountered Tony Zorc in a dimly lit corner of small vendor booths at Dreamforce in 2012 for a demo of the recently released Accounting Seed. After a career of building custom ERP solutions and implementing others, it took one short demo for Ken to realize Tony was onto something good.
During negotiations an agreement was reached to collaborate on the design of a manufacturing and inventory solution, which became the earliest version of the Accounting Seed Orders and Inventory module.
Ken’s team at PAX Water Technologies embraced Salesforce and Accounting Seed, transforming the platform into an ERP solution over the ensuing three years. In a design/build engineering environment, each sale was typically a one-off solution.
The PAX team converted to a modular system design, allowing the company to stock components and deliver solutions in days, rather than weeks or months. This transformation was made possible by the flexibility and nimbleness of the Salesforce/Accounting Seed platform.
augeō has existed alongside Accounting Seed for the last ten years, watching the industry evolve. The original goal was paperless operations, allowing accounting to be outsourced. Then an ecosystem grew up around Accounting Seed, offering complementary tools such as electronic signatures and payment solutions. Now software developers are building industry-specific ERP’s, partnering with Accounting Seed to offer an integrated accounting solution.
Throughout these changes, augeō strives to be the glue that binds Accounting Seed together with their Partners, Clients, and ultimately the accounting teams.
If your business relies on Accounting Seed and you want a system you can trust, augeō gives you the structure, guidance, and support to get there.
You work with accountants who understand Salesforce, not general consultants learning accounting. Our focus is accuracy, automation and processes that match how your business works.

Financial accuracy and operational efficiency can determine whether your business scales—or stalls. Yet many organizations still rely on spreadsheets, paper trails, and disconnected systems to
