In late 2022, Noah Pepper, formerly of Stripe, recognized AI's potential to transform professional service firms, inspiring him to pivot his startup's focus from software to enhancing existing businesses.
By acquiring Citrine International Tax and integrating AI tools, Multiplier Holdings significantly improved the firm's profit margins, supporting a successful strategy shift towards acquiring and modernizing professional services.
