FlexTecs in Atlanta Secures Strategic Investment from Cohere Capital

Atlanta knows this story well. Not the glossy version. The real one. The kind built on spreadsheets, stubborn discipline, and a long memory for where money goes missing. FlexTecs started here in 2011 with John M. Cook, Tom Cook, and Bradley Roos deciding that recovery audits did not need to feel like archaeology. They could happen in-year, closer to the transaction, closer to the truth. That idea stuck. It scaled. And on January 22, 2026, it earned a strategic investment from Cohere Capital that lands right in the middle of a growth curve already bending upward.

FlexTecs is not loud about growth, but the numbers talk plenty. The company has doubled in size over the last three years, grown past 600 employees globally, and maintained a 25 percent revenue compound annual growth rate since 2020. Each year, the platform reviews more than one trillion dollars in client transactions and recovers or prevents over seven hundred million dollars in incorrect payments. This is not about chasing pennies. This is about catching leaks before they flood the basement.

The word Flex matters here. FlexTecs flexed away from the old recovery model by pulling audits forward and pairing them with technology that runs alongside existing ERP systems. FlexTrap sits in that space, catching duplicate payments, wrong currencies, mis-keyed invoices, and supplier statement mismatches before they become awkward phone calls. In October 2025, AP Inbox Assist joined the stack, turning chaotic inboxes into structured workflows with AI that knows when something smells off. Prevention beats recovery when time is money and relationships matter.

Cohere Capital did not show up for a turnaround. They showed up for momentum. Founded by Nik Shah and Daniel Gedney, Cohere focuses on tech-enabled services at inflection points like this one. Daniel Gedney called out FlexTecs for being built with technology at its core, a difference that only widens as AI keeps learning the bad habits of accounts payable. The investment is undisclosed, minority, and deliberate. Growth without breaking what already works.

Leadership continuity is the quiet headline. Tom Cook remains Co-CEO, Bradley Roos steps into a Senior Advisor role after more than a decade of global expansion, and the operating engine keeps humming. From Atlanta to Manchester to Lalitpur, where over 300 professionals drive a 96 percent retention rate, this company runs on people who know the work and stay long enough to master it.

FlexTecs has been bootstrapped grit for fourteen years. Now it has capital that understands patience, scale, and timing. In a market growing single digits, twenty-five percent tells you something else is happening. The question is not whether payment accuracy matters. It is who you trust to see the errors before the check clears.
