Enumerate Launches as a Vertically Focused SaaS Accounting

Enumerate (the “Company”), the leading provider of software and payment solutions to communities, homeowners associations (“HOAs”) and other vertical markets, today announced its rebrand after a previous growth equity investment from Great Hill Partners, a private equity firm that invests in high-growth, disruptive companies. The Company’s core products, TOPS Software (accounting) and Nabr Network (engagement), will operate under the new name Enumerate moving forward. Enumerate will be led by Charlie Piper, a software industry veteran and former Great Hill portfolio company executive. Great Hill invested growth capital into Enumerate’s predecessor company, TOPS Software, in July 2021 and executed the acquisition of Nabr Network in February 2022.

Enumerate’s technology will bring together the best in accounting, operations, payments, resident engagement, and financial services in one easy-to-use and integrated platform. The investment from Great Hill will enable Enumerate to accelerate its growth plans and further enhance its product roadmap to better serve customers.

“We are thrilled to partner with Great Hill as we embark on the next phase of our growth journey as a newly-launched company,” said Mr. Piper. “Combining the collective 70+ years of industry and product knowledge that we bring together, Enumerate is well-positioned to continue innovating on behalf of our customers. Furthermore, Great Hill’s deep experience scaling technology businesses will be invaluable to our transformation as we bring new solutions to market to deliver even greater value for our customers.”

“In fragmented markets poorly served by point solutions, we believe Enumerate is uniquely positioned as the accounting system of record to deliver an integrated payments and software offering. Opportunities exist on both sides of the accounting ledger, accounts receivable (money in) and accounts payable (money out). We look forward to providing the support and resources required to capitalize on this large and under-penetrated opportunity across our core markets,” said Joe Germanese, Principal at Great Hill.

Since its inception, Great Hill has developed a deep track record in the payments and software sectors with over 20 investments in the category. In addition to Enumerate, Great Hill Partners’ portfolio includes One Inc, Versapay, Paytronix, Vanco, NMI, BlueSnap, and more. Prior investments include Affinipay, Accelerated Payment Technologies, BillMatrix, ChromeRiver, MineralTree, and PayChoice, among others.

By embracing rent reporting, we are laying the foundation for a more inclusive and equitable housing landscape, ensuring that all residents have the opportunity to achieve their financial goals." “Progress Residential is proud to have been a pioneer in offering positive rent reporting in the single-family rental industry through our partnership with Esusu,” said Adolfo Villagomez, Chief Executive Officer of Progress Residential. “Since launching in March 2022, 57 percent of our participating residents have seen increases in their credit scores, and more than 5,000 residents established first time credit scores, unlocking greater financial potential. We commend NRHC for advocating for the expansion of rent reporting, and we are excited about the transformative impact today’s announcement will make on the financial well-being of so many individuals and families across the SFR industry." “We are pleased to work directly with Esusu on free reporting of positive rent payments for our residents, and this partnership between NRHC and Esusu is a powerful build that provides many SFR residents the full suite of financial planning tools that Esusu offers,” said Dallas Tanner, CEO of Invitation Homes. “Our residents appreciate the choice and flexibility offered by a single-family rental home, and the partnerships with Esusu offer tools that can further help SFR residents realize their financial goals.” The collaboration of all involved is a testament to their shared vision of a future where financial opportunities are accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic background.
