New Global Identity: TydeCo™

Lescault & Walderman (LWI) proudly announces its rebranding alongside AWCape and Applico, now collectively identified as TydeCo™. This new global brand marks a significant milestone in the organizations' journey to deliver comprehensive accounting, business transformation, consulting, and technology solutions worldwide.

Symbolism Behind TydeCo™

The name TydeCo™ is a fusion of 'Tyde,' representing the ocean tides that connect various continents, and 'Co,' which symbolizes the collaborative culture of the organization. This name conveys not just the global expansion but also the essence of teamwork and shared purpose that guides TydeCo™'s operations. As stated in their brand narrative, "Change is always coming, and we are here to help you stay ahead of it. At its heart, Co stands for Collective," signifying how TydeCo™ values partnerships with clients and within its teams.

From Local to Global: A Journey

Beginning as a home-grown outsourced accounting firm in the U.S., LWI has significantly broadened its horizons through strategic acquisitions in 2023 with AWCape and Applico. These acquisitions have fortified TydeCo™ by expanding its geographical reach and capability to provide valuable services in North America, South Africa, the UK, and more. TydeCo™ is equipped to support various sectors, including healthcare, professional services, agriculture, SaaS, and financial services, boasting a diverse clientele of mid-market organizations and startups that are eager to grow.

Integrating Consulting and Technology

TydeCo™ distinguishes itself through the integration of consulting, advisory, software, and cloud implementation services. This synergy allows the firm to offer a holistic approach that aids organizations in streamlining their financial management and operational processes. Using technology such as Sage Intacct and Sage 300 People, TydeCo™ aims to facilitate real problem-solving rather than merely implementing systems. Their motto, "Consulting, but better," encapsulates this philosophy, focusing on meaningful solutions that extend beyond traditional expectations.

Accolades and Achievements

TydeCo™ has already garnered impressive recognition, affirming the efficacy of their collaborative approach. The brand has been recognized as the #1 Systems Integrator for Sage Intacct implementations in the U.S. and has received accolades that include:
