We're building the AI-native workforce for accounting and finance.
A founding opportunity to start a venture-backed company alongside Forum Ventures. We're reimagining the CFO function from the ground up with agents that do the work, not just summarize it.
The accounting profession is collapsing under its own weight. The status quo can't scale to meet it.
Every growing company needs a finance function. That means month-end close, payables, reconciliations, reporting, forecasting, and compliance. Today that work is done by humans drowning in spreadsheets and stitched-together SaaS.
Meanwhile the talent pipeline is breaking. Fewer people are entering accounting, costs are rising, and outsourced firms can't keep up. The result is the same workload, done worse, slower, and more expensively each year.
Three shifts have lined up in the last 18 months.
Models finally reason over numbers.
Frontier models can now follow multi-step financial logic, reconcile entities, and explain their work. They no longer just summarize PDFs.
Buyers are actively looking.
CFOs and controllers are running pilots today. Budget is moving from headcount to agents, and the incumbents are slow.
The data layer is unlocked.
Modern ERPs, banking APIs, and unified ledgers make it possible for an outside system to actually do the work end to end.
We're open to multiple wedges. The right one depends on you.
The CFO co-pilot
An agentic layer that lives on top of the GL and bank data, drafting variance analysis, board decks, and cash forecasts on demand.
- Sits on top of existing ERPs and banking APIs, no rip-and-replace
- Fast wedge into finance teams already running pilots
- Expands from insight into action as trust compounds
The autonomous controller
Agents that own close, reconciliations, and AP/AR end to end. They escalate only the genuinely ambiguous to a human reviewer.
- Owns repeatable close and reconciliation workflows end to end
- Replaces headcount spend with measurable margin improvement
- Human-in-the-loop only on genuinely ambiguous exceptions
AI-native outsourced finance
A services company built around agents from day one, delivering controller and CFO outcomes at SaaS-like gross margins.
- Delivers controller and CFO outcomes, not seat licenses
- Agent-first delivery unlocks SaaS-like gross margins
- Distribution advantage against legacy outsourced firms
A finance leader who has lived this problem, and is ready to rebuild it.
You've been a CFO, controller, head of finance, founder of an accounting firm, or a senior operator who has built or led the function. You've felt the pain firsthand across any of the three paths we're exploring, whether that's building the CFO co-pilot, running an autonomous controller, or standing up an AI-native services firm. You don't need to be technical. You need to be relentless, opinionated about how finance should work, and energized by the chance to build the company you wish you'd had as a customer.
