Paro is an AI-powered professional services marketplace that connects businesses and accounting firms with vetted, on-demand finance and accounting experts. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Chicago, Paro uses proprietary AI matching to pair clients with the top 2% of finance professionals across 60+ industries and 250+ skill sets — spanning bookkeeping, fractional CFO and controller services, financial planning and analysis, tax and compliance, and full-time recruiting. For accounting firms it provides staff augmentation, busy-season support, and service-expansion consulting. Paro operates a talent platform (app.paro.io) but does not publish a public developer API; this profile captures its identity, content, and public web surface for the API Evangelist network.
