Our Story

Three decades of building the tools the industry trusts
1995
EDGARfilings Founded

Alex Neblett and John Yapundich founded EDGARfilings as the SEC mandated electronic submissions. Launched Desktop EDGARizer® and a professional filing service, becoming one of the first companies to help filers go digital.

2000
EDGARizer® Launches for HTML

As the SEC enabled HTML filings with graphics and hyperlinks, EDGARizer® launched with full support, quickly becoming the industry standard for EDGAR document preparation.

2002
EDGARforms.com™ Created

Launched the first web-based, self-filing solution for Section 16 forms (Forms 3, 4 & 5) filed directly to SEC EDGAR. A category-defining product.

2005
XBRL Pioneer

Launched EDGARizerX™, an early XBRL filing solution built as part of the SEC’s voluntary XBRL program. Among the first to prepare and file XBRL documents with SEC EDGAR, and an active participant in the XBRL.us steering committee, helping shape the standard.

Second Successful Exit
