Inflo was started in 2016 by four co-founders: Mark Edmondson, its chief executive and a former PwC audit leader, Graham Clark, Grant Cooper and Tom Gathercole. It had 195 employees at the end of 2025.
Inflo or Caseware?+
Both are used for external audit. Caseware, founded in 1988, built its business on working papers. Inflo was built in the cloud from the start and combines client requests, full-ledger data analytics and working papers in one platform, so firms often compare the two when moving audit work out of desktop files.
