Saasu is an Australian owned company that develops online accounting software.[2] It is distributed using the software as a service model.[3]

History

Saasu was founded in 2000 by Marc Lehmann and Grant Young,[4] maturing from a side project into a business in 2007. It was founded on the basis of driving automation in business.[5] Rather than take on early capital, Saasu is privately owned and funded and has expressed a focus on profitability over size.[6] Marc Lehmann seed funded Saasu with a $1 million credit line in 2000 with subsequent minor investments from Pan Global Nominees and Cooper Sydney.[7]

In 2014, Saasu signed partnerships with the Australian online foreign exchange platform OzForex[8] and PayPal.[9]

In 2015, Saasu announced an exclusive partnership with Westpac.[10]
