Caseware unveils newly appointed CEO
The global audit, analytics and accounting software company has announced the appointment of its new chief executive officer, David Marquis.
Caseware has appointed David Marquis as its chief executive officer following his five-year stint at Intuit as the leader for the international division including Canada, Australia, the UK and other non-US markets.
The software company said Marquis joined at an exciting time, having reached a “unique” position within the audit, assurance and data analytics space, now selling into over 130 countries.
Marquis said he was excited to have joined the Caseware team at a time when accounting software was heavily utilised and recognised.
“I’m honoured to join Caseware, a Canadian tech unicorn with a proud legacy of innovation and a mission to empower audit and accounting professionals worldwide,” he said.
“Together, we have a unique opportunity to redefine the industry, accelerating the benefits that technology can bring to professionals, and the communities they serve.”
Maquis was appointed CEO based on a wealth of tech leadership experience from his previous roles at Intuit and Google country leader.
Caseware added that Marquis’ “impressive career” also included an eight-year stint at Bell Canada and foundational roles at Rolls-Royce and the Boston Consulting Group.
Caseware board chair Mike Sabbatis said the appointment marked an exciting new chapter for Caseware as it continued to contribute to the accounting and audit landscape.
“His proven leadership, innovative thinking and deep understanding of both technology and the accounting profession make him uniquely qualified to lead our company into the future,” he said.
“With his expertise, Caseware is well-positioned to deliver even greater value to our customers, leveraging cutting-edge AI and cloud solutions to drive quality, efficiency, and enable accountants to practice at the highest level of their certification.”
HG Capital director Alexander Johnson said Marquis had joined the Caseware team at a pivotal point within the software space.
“David has joined during an inflection point for the industry, with CPA firms transitioning en masse to Caseware’s cloud products driven by increasing focus on both audit quality and ROI,” Johnson said.
“Firms are enjoying improved automation and accuracy, integration of remote and offshore teams and improved talent retention and attraction via Caseware’s best-in-class software.”
Following Marquis’ appointment to CEO, Sabbatis acknowledged Caseware’s departing CEO.
“As part of this transition, I would like to recognise the contributions of Dave Osborne, our departing CEO, who has played a pivotal role in the transformation, growth and innovation at Caseware over the last few years.”
