About Campfire
Campfire is the AI-native ERP that multiplies what your team can do. Built for high-growth. Ready for scale. Founded in 2023 by John Glasgow and backed by Y Combinator, Accel, Foundation Capital, and Ribbit Capital, Campfire was built to replace legacy ERP software — NetSuite, SAP, and their 1990s-era counterparts — with something built for the way modern finance teams actually work. Glasgow brought 15+ years of finance experience to the problem, including a front-row seat to the operational complexity that comes with rapid growth and M&A. He launched Campfire to automate the drudgery: manual categorization, reconciliation, revenue recognition, variance analysis — the work that buries teams and slows closes. Today, Campfire customers close up to 5x faster, save hundreds of thousands annually, and trust their books without the overhead of a bloated ERP.

What Campfire does

Campfire automates the work that nobody wants to do — and gives finance teams the intelligence to do more with the time they get back.

Accounting intelligence

Auto-categorizes transactions, reconciles bank accounts, and matches payments to invoices. You review and approve instead of doing everything from scratch.

Ember AI

Your built-in analyst. Ask questions in plain language and get answers with source data in 30 seconds — flux commentary, anomaly analysis, custom reports on demand.

Revenue automation

Handles complex billing and revenue recognition for modern SaaS. Subscription, usage-based, tiered, and contract modifications — with ASC 606 compliance out of the box.

Core accounting

Multi-entity consolidation, continuous close, and real-time financial statements — no spreadsheet exports, no separate instances per entity.

Custom reporting

Build reports in seconds with drill-down to any transaction. Executive dashboards update continuously, replacing month-old spreadsheets with real-time visibility.

Who we work with

We partner with some of the fastest-growing companies in the world — including Replit, Decagon, and PostHog — as well as companies in services, health tech, and aerospace. Our customers range from high-growth startups to public companies, and they all share the same frustration with legacy ERP: it's too slow, too manual, and built for a different era.
