Kinter, an artificial intelligence workforce platform for accounting teams, announced Tuesday the public launch of its AI accountants, which the company describes as AI agents that can perform complex financial workflows safely and autonomously.
By operating directly on top of existing ERPs like NetSuite and QuickBooks, Kinter agents allow finance teams to move away from manual, end-of-month processes and toward a continuous close, the San Francisco-based company says.
“Finance software has lied to accountants for 30 years,” Kinter CEO Gregg Mojica said in a statement. “It promised efficiency but delivered a faster way to do the same manual work. The bottleneck in finance is no longer data—it’s execution. We built Kinter because the accounting industry deserves agents that actually do the work, not a spellchecker.”
Kinter’s AI accountants execute financial tasks for the expense side of accounting. Unlike chat-based AI co-pilots that wait for instructions, Kinter says its agents operate continuously to:
- Prepare accruals throughout the month.
- Identify prepaid expenses.
- Automate payroll entries.
- Draft journal entry proposals for review.
- Maintain a complete, transparent audit trail for every action.
To guide the development of its autonomous workforce, Kinter says it engaged with more than 600 controllers, vice presidents of finance, and directors of accounting.
The company has also built “Closing Time,” a peer community for finance leaders navigating AI adoption, which includes supper clubs taking place around the U.S. The first three supper clubs took place in New York City, Chicago, and Dallas.
Kinter was established by Mojica in 2020 and is backed by Tier 1 investors including a16z, Bain Capital Ventures, Y Combinator, and dozens of career operators and founders.
The team building Kinter brings decades of expertise in crafting technology and in practical accounting, including Michael Nadel (Drip, Target, Goldman Sachs), Jonathan Lee (Twilio, Liferay), and Armen Aklian, CPA (Zendesk, ENDVR).
