Tallie CEO Joins Firm Management Startup LISCIO

Chris Farrell, the founder and CEO of expense management software maker Tallie, has joined LISCIO as COO.

“I’m a builder at heart, so when I see an opportunity to help solve a major issue for the profession, like LISCIO does, I want to be involved,” Farrell said. “Add to this that Darren’s understanding of the accounting profession is unrivaled and the company’s vision of strengthening the bond between firms and their clients is compelling and timely, and it made my decision to join the LISCIO team very easy.”

LISCIO is a CPA-led technology company that has developed a new platform developed exclusively for the accounting profession to simplify the overall client experience. The system was developed to connect firms and clients through an advanced online platform that captures engagement and interaction at every level and across devices — so no task or communication falls through the cracks. The business has offices in Pleasanton, California, and Indianapolis.

“My tactic in business has always been to surround myself with brilliant people, said LISCIO CEO Darren Root, CPA. “I’ve known Chris for several years and have witnessed first hand his exceptional talent for developing and bringing world-class technology to market. So, when we started talking about LISCIO, I knew I wanted him on the team.”

Farrell lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a graduate of the UCLA Anderson School of Business.
