What Afternoon.co does
Afternoon.co empowers founders to make better business decisions with real time financial metrics. We pair managed AI bookkeeping and tax services, to reduce administrative burden on founders. Accountants struggle serving 4 million+ of ecommerce brands & startups in the US, because of complexity in sales tax, multiple sales channels and inventory management. We automate a large portion of bookkeeping by integrating with their sales and inventory systems, so founders can spend less time doing admin work.

Bookkeeping, compliance and tax for founders
We built Afternoon.co to reduce administrative burden on ecommerce founders by combining managed AI bookkeeping and tax services. Our product automates bookkeeping by integrating directly with sales, inventory, and sales tax systems. This helps founders track real-time financial metrics and handle complex sales tax and inventory challenges without hiring expensive accountants.
We live in New York, NY, and the company will be based there after YC.
New York is where our team lives and where we have deep connections in ecommerce startups and accounting service providers. Staying here keeps us close to early customers and partners.
