Campfire seeks to redefine finance in the AI era

Campfire, an AI-native ERP company focused on trans-
forming finance operations, raised $65 million in a Series
B co-led by Accel and Ribbit, bringing its total funding
to more than $100 million. With customers across six
continents, Campfire is following its mission to deliver
intelligent, scalable and sustainable finance solutions
and believes it is gaining momentum as a modern alter-
native to legacy systems like SAP and Oracle.

Campfire CEO John Glasgow said the company was
built "to reimagine ERP for the AI age" and its large
accounting model has achieved 95 percent accuracy in
automating reconciliation and variation detection.
