Savant Growth partnered with Qount founders, Uday Koorella and Phani Ilapakurty, to not only accelerate the product roadmap with capital but also in assembling Qount’s new leadership from the executive team of SurePrep, a software and services company that harnessed AI to automate the collection and processing of digital tax documents. SurePrep’s former Vice President of Sales, Peter Miele, has been appointed the new CEO of Qount. With over two decades of experience growing and scaling a SaaS business in the tax and accounting sector, Peter is poised to lead Qount into its next phase of innovation and market expansion, driving operational excellence, accelerating growth, and delivering exceptional value to customers.

“The future of accounting is about technology that empowers professionals and transforms how firms operate, adapt, and grow.” said Peter Miele, Qount CEO.

Greg Pope, former SurePrep Vice President of Marketing, has been named Qount CMO. With over 25 years of experience in the tax and accounting industry, Greg’s leadership in digital marketing, brand development, and customer engagement will be instrumental in enhancing Qount's position as best-of-breed in the industry.
