Pros & Cons
Campfire
Pros

- G2 reviewers rate it about 4.7 to 4.8 and frequently praise onboarding and support from in-house accountants.
- Customers report shorter month-end closes, for example a 70% reduction at Flex.
Cons
- No public pricing, so you need a sales conversation to get any cost figure.
- Financials only, with no inventory, manufacturing or HR modules.
- Reviewers say advanced custom accounting flows and report formatting can be awkward.
- Young company founded in 2023 with a short track record, and it publishes little compliance detail.
HighRadius
