Campfire

Campfire is a cloud ERP built around an AI-driven general ledger, aimed at venture-backed software and services companies that have outgrown QuickBooks or want to leave NetSuite. Its modules cover core accounting with unlimited entities and consolidation, revenue automation for subscription, usage-based and bundled billing models, close management with checklists, flux analysis and account reconciliation, a forecasting module, and real-time reporting with drill-down to individual transactions. Ember, its assistant, answers finance questions in plain language, proposes accruals, completes some close tasks and logs its reasoning for auditors. It also works from Slack. The company says its own accounting model categorizes transactions and reconciles payments continuously. Campfire supports more than 180 currencies and over 1,200 granular permissions, and it lists 100+ native integrations covering banking, payroll, FP&A and tax tools, plus a public API and webhooks. Pricing is not published. Quotes depend on company size and the modules you configure, and sales goes through a demo. Third-party research puts typical go-live at 3 to 10 weeks. Named customers include Replit, PostHog and Decagon. The main limitation is scope: the product handles financials only, with no inventory, manufacturing or HR, so it does not suit businesses that stock physical goods. It is also a young vendor, founded in 2023, and the security documentation it publishes is thin.
