<p>Accruit, LLC, a leading provider of like-kind exchange and special member services, today launched a brand redesign reflecting the company's transition from a qualified intermediary to a diversified financial technology (FinTech) service provider.</p>

<p>In June of last year, Accruit acquired the assets of Bankers Escrow Corporation, one of the largest full service escrow companies in Colorado, and continued to provide escrow services under the banner of Accruit-owned Bankers Escrow, LLC. The consolidation of escrow services into Accruit's own brand is part of a diversification strategy aimed at evolving the company and providing these services world-wide.</p>

<p>"This branding transition is a natural step for Accruit," said CEO Brent Abrahm. "We've grown our business significantly over the past several years, and our expansion into escrow has opened opportunities for further growth into areas such as digital escrow, crowdfunding and integration with online platforms.”</p>

<p>Accruit continues to expand its escrow offerings to include solutions in underserved industries. They are also currently developing a technology solution for holding software source code and digital IP with a release anticipated later this year.</p>

<p>An updated company website was unveiled today to reflect the new brand identity and showcase the company’s competitive advantages as a FinTech brand.</p>

<p>IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2016 — HomeUnion, an online real estate firm providing all of the services investors need to buy, sell and manage real estate, has formed a partnership with Accruit, a leading qualified intermediary for taxpayers executing like-kind exchanges. The partnership enables HomeUnion’s investor clients to access Accruit’s services, as well as their Certified Exchange Specialists® (CES®), when closing like-kind exchanges in real estate. A like-kind exchange in real estate – also known as a 1031 exchange – allows investors to sell a property and reinvest the proceeds from that sale into a new property to defer capital gains taxes.</p>

<p>Accruit, LLC, the nation’s leading provider of qualified intermediary (QI) services and 1031 like-kind exchange (LKE) program solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of Ted Jolly as Director of Marketing and Inside Sales.</p>

<p>Jolly is a marketing and digital communications professional with almost 20 years of corporate and agency experience.&nbsp; Most recently, he was a Strategic Marketing Manager for Baker Hughes, a global oilfield service company, where he was responsible for marketing strategies, content development, product launches, and marketing campaign implementation.&nbsp; Jolly was extensively involved in strategic planning for Baker Hughes and was instrumental in driving revenue growth for the company during his tenure there.</p>

<p>"We’re excited &nbsp;to have someone with Ted’s breadth and depth of experience join us,” said Accruit President and COO, Karen Kemerling.&nbsp; “His passion for marketing and effective communication will help Accruit meet evolving challenges in the industry.”</p>

<p>Jolly’s focus will be on developing a marketing and inside sales strategy to grow current markets and&nbsp; further develop the Accruit and Bankers Escrow brands. When asked about his new role, Jolly was enthusiastic. "I’m passionate about marketing’s potential and the unique challenges presented in this industry. My goal, as always, is to discover how we can better connect with customers.”</p>
