Our Story

Journey with us through the Actuarius story, where innovation, perseverance, and a passion for transforming financial services have driven us from a visionary idea to a pioneering force in the industry.

History: Our Origin Story

In 1998, as the digital landscape began to expand, an idea called CORE took root. We envisioned a new way for businesses to manage their finances, using the untapped potential of the internet. However, introducing such a system at a time when many viewed online financial transactions with caution was a challenge.

Recognizing this, Shannon sensed that perhaps the world wasn’t quite ready for CORE. Instead of pushing an idea whose time hadn’t come, there emerged a new opportunity: the burgeoning realm of social networking. This shift led to the creation of Planet Alumni, a venture into the then-uncharted territory of online communities.

Among those who joined this new endeavor was Jason, a standout member from the original tech team. More than just colleagues, Jason and Shannon found shared perspectives, experiences, and a common vision for the future. Planet Alumni became a space where they could learn, understand the intricacies of tech businesses, and adapt.

While their journey with Planet Alumni offered invaluable insights, the aspiration for CORE remained. What initially seemed like a sidestep for Shannon now looked like a strategic move. The experiences from Planet Alumni weren’t just about building a platform; they were stepping stones toward Actuarius’ goals.

As acceptance of technology grew and the world became more comfortable with online finance, the conditions were ripe. Shannon and Jason, enriched by their shared history, were poised to introduce CORE and lay the foundation for Actuarius. Their story serves as a reminder that sometimes it’s not just about having a vision, but also recognizing when the world is ready for it.

Simply put, CORE is a better accounting system. As crazy as it sounds, the design of CORE is what every accounting system would be today if all accountants understood and embraced technology. And ultimately, CORE’s design is the catalyst for providing CFO-caliber services at bookkeeper prices.
