Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Computer Agents for Finance tasks in your systems

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

We build software agents that log into existing finance systems like ERPs and accounting software, then automate repetitive finance tasks such as reconciliation, pricing, billing, and month-end processes. Our agents interact with protected websites handling 2FA and Captchas, running rule-based processes silently in the background without requiring browser interaction. This reduces manual grunt work for finance teams, saving them days per month and enabling faster, more accurate financial operations.

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

We live in London, United Kingdom, and plan to be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in London where we have existing networks and access to finance professionals who understand operational pain points. Building here makes sense given our domain and the strong enterprise presence.
