About
Campfire is a fully AI-native Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform designed specifically for mid-market and enterprise finance teams that need to scale without adding headcount. At its core, Campfire combines a modern general ledger, automated revenue recognition, real-time reporting, and close management into a single unified platform powered by its proprietary Accounting Intelligence engine. The platform's flagship AI feature, Ember, acts as an always-on accounting teammate that can categorize millions of transactions monthly, perform autonomous reconciliations, match payments to invoices, detect anomalies, and answer accounting questions in seconds. Ember Agents extend this further by handling complex tasks like flux analysis, accruals, cash forecasting, vendor matching, and AR aging analysis autonomously. Campfire's Revenue Automation module supports revenue recognition for any billing model, making it suitable for SaaS, usage-based, and hybrid revenue companies. The Reporting module delivers real-time dashboards with drill-down to any individual transaction, while Close Management includes built-in checklists, flux analysis, and account reconciliation workflows. The platform supports 180+ currencies, unlimited entities with multi-entity consolidation, 1,200+ granular permission settings, and 100+ natively built integrations with real-time sync. Campfire is trusted by companies that have scaled from $10M to $200M+ in ARR without growing their accounting teams, making it a powerful choice for high-growth businesses seeking operational leverage through AI.
