Teakwood Capital Named 2017 D CEO M&A Awards Finalist For iiPay Investment
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) March 07, 2017 -- Teakwood Capital, a Dallas, Texas private equity firm, today announced it has been named a finalist in the 2017 D CEO M&A Awards program for its investment in iiPay.
In early 2016, Teakwood Capital saw a potentially disruptive opportunity for the payroll industry, and in February 2016 made a growth capital investment in the cloud-based payroll services company to further enhance operational infrastructure related to iiPay’s global technology platform that serves more than 250 clients in over 120 countries.
“The global payroll market is very fragmented and inefficient,” said Shawn Kelly, Managing Director at Teakwood Capital. “iiPay’s world class, proprietary technology reduces the number of required vendors, streamlines the process, and improves accuracy and timeliness. It also allows clients to focus on what’s most important – serving their customers.”
In 2016, iiPay moved its headquarters from the United Kingdom to Dallas given the large concentration of multi-national companies in the U.S., as well as the deep resource pool which has already afforded the company the opportunity to double its headcount.
Many leading global brands, including TripAdvisor, Avid and Capsugel, rely on iiPay for its reliable, efficient and cost-effective payroll solutions.
Winners in this year’s awards program will be announced at a private awards event in late May and covered in the May 2017 issue of D CEO.
