Tya, home of New School Accounting, will modernize the accounting industry in 2 ways:

• Introduce "GaapApps", a suite of accounting apps meant to pry manual Excel spreadsheets away from corporate accountants

• Ramp-up our New School Accounting consulting practice, and bring collaboration-oriented New School Accountants to replace dry and impersonal number-crunchers

• We're extremely passionate about changing the old school accounting industry, and need financial resources to accelerate this process.

• Funding is not the only reason for partnering with a top-tier VC, we also need guidance and non-monetary support to help influence the market to adopt these radical changes. Changing the stubborn accounting industry will be tough.

• Tya is seeking to raise $1.9m to help us quickly launch GaapApps, and support our operations/growth until we are cash-flow positive in Q4'18.

We surveyed 17 corporate accountants (non-bookkeeping world): • 100% perform over 50% of their accounting work in Excel (as opposed to ERP or other accounting-related software)

• 65% perform over 70% of their work in Excel

• Excel is not only used for calculations by accountants, but also as checklists and forms as well

Proceeds from financing will mainly go to GaapApps, but we're also building a team of New School Accountants to provide accounting services and help spread the New School message. • We're hiring casual and communication-oriented consultants

to replace impersonal number-crunchers

• We want to make a statement in the industry and visibly stand-out as new school, so we will equip our staff with new school technologies (Macs, iPads, etc.)

• New School Accountants will also be experts/promoters of GaapApps, and can provide customization services to software customers

Strong collaboration features (e.g., tagging, task assignments,

approval workflow), and extensive reporting capabilities for

project management and audit-trail purposes

Minimalist, clean design and UI,

because new school accountants

won't like to work in text-heavy,

boxy-table looking pages
