Company Overview

Campfire is an AI-native ERP platform, built for mid-market and early enterprise businesses aiming to modernize their finance infrastructure and automate complex accounting with the help of advanced artificial intelligence. Founded in San Francisco in 2023 and backed by Accel, Foundation Capital, Y Combinator, and Capital49, Campfire stands out for replacing legacy accounting systems with a fully unified, cloud-based platform. Purpose-built by finance and software experts, Campfire provides everything from a powerful general ledger to revenue automation, close management, and conversational AI reporting – empowering finance teams to close books faster, surface actionable insights, and respond in real time as they scale.

Campfire Products for Venture-Funded Startups

Core Accounting

  • Modern General Ledger. Designed to support growing venture-funded startups as they outgrow small-business accounting tools, Campfire’s general ledger offers robust multi-entity and multi-currency support, instant consolidations, and advanced controls such as locked periods and audit trails.
  • Accelerated Close Management. Campfire automates manual accounting tasks– from bank reconciliation and journal entries to intercompany eliminations – reducing close times from weeks to days while maintaining the rigor needed for audit-readiness.
  • Seamless Integrations. Out-of-the-box integration with leading platforms like Salesforce, Rippling, Ramp, and 100+ more (via API) makes synchronizing billing, payroll, CRM, and spend data easy.

Revenue Automation

  • Unified Revenue Accounting. Campfire automates revenue recognition (including ARR, deferred revenue, usage, contract milestones, and more), invoicing, and customer payments with flexible rule-based engines. It also supports SaaS, consumption, contract-based, and fintech business models – eliminating error-prone spreadsheets for startups with sophisticated needs.
  • Billing and Invoicing. Generate, deliver, and manage complex invoices – including usage-based and milestone billing – with built-in dunning, payment reminders, and self-serve customer portals.
  • Real-Time Reporting. Drill into live dashboards for cash, revenue, and SaaS metrics, plus export-ready financials and audit documentation.

Ember AI Conversational Interface

  • Natural Language Reporting. Ember AI, Campfire’s conversational GenAI agent powered by Anthropic’s Claude models, lets finance teams (and business users) query financial data, build reports, and explore variances in plain English – no SQL or custom report-building required.
  • AI Task Automation. Delegate routine tasks – such as reconciliations, building board decks, or preparing close checklists – to Ember AI, freeing teams to focus on strategic decisions instead of manual work.

Multi-Entity and Global Support

  • Consolidation and Globalization. Campfire natively supports startups operating across multiple entities and currencies, providing consolidated financials, localized compliance controls, and automated intercompany posting – ideal for VC-backed tech companies expanding internationally.

Security, Extensibility, and Scalability

  • Enterprise-Grade Security. With encrypted data, permission controls, and audit trails, Campfire is built to pass due diligence for sensitive, scaling startups.
  • APIs & Custom Workflows. Over 100+ endpoints and headless architecture allow startups to build workflows, sync with other systems, and automate unique processes as they grow.
