San Francisco-based AI-native ERP company Campfire has launched Migration Agent, which moves a company’s general ledger into Campfire in minutes rather than months and produces a reconciliation workbook that proves every account tied out.
With the data work reduced to its shortest step, most teams are live on Campfire by their next monthly close or the one after, wrote Brendan Doyle, head of product at Campfire, in a blog post on Sept. 3.
A migration agent is artificial intelligence that performs the data transformation work in an ERP migration: reading the source system’s data, mapping accounts and dimensions to the target format, running validation checks, and loading the result.

Campfire Introduces Ember Agents for Accounting Teams
Campfire’s Migration Agent handles the general ledger end to end, Doyle says.
“It connects to the source system directly where a connection exists and works from exported files everywhere else, which means unusual, legacy, and home-built systems are a normal case rather than an exception,” he wrote. “It maintains a runbook for each source system it has seen, and when it encounters a format it hasn’t, it derives the mapping and proposes it for review.
“It is not autonomous, by design,” Doyle continued. “Every write requires human approval. When the agent encounters something ambiguous, a duplicate account, a mapping conflict, it stops and asks rather than guessing. An accounting team supervises every migration, because the judgment calls in a migration are accounting decisions, not data decisions.”
How do you know the migration worked? This is the question the whole product is organized around, Doyle says, and the answer is: you check it yourself.
“Every migration produces a reconciliation workbook. Your old balance sheet sits beside your new one, account by account, month by month, with a variance column between them. Every figure in it is a live formula tracing back to your own source export, so any number can be clicked and followed to its origin. The balances are verified two independent ways, once programmatically and once through the workbook’s formulas, and the two methods are then reconciled against each other,” he wrote.
“The workbook goes to the customer. A controller can hand it to an auditor. This is the difference between a vendor saying the migration worked and a finance team being able to prove it did, and we think it is the standard ERP migrations should be held to.”
