Sweet

Founded by Toni Witt and Femi Odugbesan

Sweet works inside an accounting firm as its outside AI lead, training the staff and building the automations that take repetitive work out of tax prep, month-end close and client onboarding.

Where they are now

Over 2,000 accountants trained.

The company stepped away from building tax software in May 2026. Updated September 2026.

What they do

Small firms know AI should be saving them time and have no one to build it. Sweet does the assessment, builds the automations against the firm's actual workflow, then stays on to keep them running.

Who it's for

Owners and partners at small and regional accounting firms, which the company defines as firms under $10 million.

What's different

Sweet builds its agents into the software a firm already runs, so nobody has to switch systems. Training is hands-on and continues after the build, with results tracked over time.


What they've done, with sources
Back a founder

Every Fifth Star company gets the same $25,000 check.

Contributions go into the fund that writes them. If Sweet exits one day, our share comes back to the fund and goes out again, which is what makes us an evergreen fund.
