OnDeck stated that its program is a “state-of-the-art referral platform” that helps accounting firms serve their clients with expanded offerings, especially as pertains to working capital and other financing needs. The company said that the additional services include loans of up to $500,000, with additional lines of credit available for up to $100,000, and interest rates for some customers can fall below 6 percent.
In a statement that accompanied the release, Frank Orofino, director of the firm’s Accountant Advisor Program, said: “The new OnDeck Accountant Relationship Managers will enable us to provide the accounting community in the Southeast with attractive financing options for their clients. CPAs and accountants provide an invaluable service to the community.
