AI Accountant for Accounting Firms

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build an AI system that handles end-to-end accounting tasks for firms. Our product captures invoices, uploads data to ERP and POS systems, manages invoice payments and reconciliation, automates tax filings, and provides CFO-level financial insights on demand. This replaces manual accounting workflows with AI agents focused on accuracy and efficiency.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Bogotá, Colombia, and plan to keep the company based here after YC while operating remotely.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bogotá is where we are rooted and where our team is based. The market for accounting services is strong locally, and remote work keeps us connected globally. We don't see a reason to relocate when we have infrastructure and talent here.
