Qount names accounting tech veteran David Wyle to board
Qount said David Wyle, founder of ePace! Software and SurePrep, has joined its board as the company expands its AI product strategy.
Qount said on Aug. 11, 2026, that David Wyle has joined its Board of Directors as the accounting software company advances an AI-focused product plan.
The Plano, Texas-based company said Wyle will work with leadership on growth and product strategy, with a focus on how AI is being adopted inside accounting firms. Qount said the appointment adds an executive with nearly three decades in the profession and experience building tools that were later folded into larger software platforms.
What happened
Qount described itself in the announcement as an AI-powered practice management platform for accounting firms. It said Wyle is a CPA and accounting technology entrepreneur who began his career at PwC before founding ePace! Software.
The release said ePace! was one of the profession's first paperless audit solutions. It also said CCH acquired the company in 2001 and that the technology later became ProSystem fx Engagement, which remains widely used today.
Wyle founded SurePrep in 2002, according to the release. Qount said the company helped establish tax document automation as a technology category for accounting firms. Thomson Reuters acquired SurePrep for $500 million in 2023, the release said, and Wyle later served as general manager of audit at Thomson Reuters, where he led its global audit software business.
Why it matters
The board appointment gives Qount a director with a long history in accounting software, including products that became part of major industry platforms. Qount said that background will help as it builds QAI, an AI layer embedded across its platform.
CEO Pete Miele said in the release that the company is trying to create new capabilities rather than simply add features. Wyle said practice management is in a generational turnover and that firms still rely on spreadsheets and disconnected tools around rich operational data.
Context and background
Qount says its platform helps firms manage work, billing, client relationships, collaboration, documents and reporting in one system. The company said Wyle's experience will inform its expansion among larger and more complex firms.
The announcement did not say whether Wyle will take on any committee roles or whether the board change affects other directors.
What officials said
Miele said Qount is building QAI across the platform and said Wyle brings experience in creating new capabilities in the market.
Wyle said the goal is to remove manual work and give firms capabilities the category has not offered before.
What happens next
Qount said Wyle will work closely with company leadership on growth and product strategy. The company did not announce any changes to pricing, product timing or customer rollout plans.
