# Campfire

> Campfire is the AI-native ERP for high-growth companies. It automates the accounting work that slows finance teams down — transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, revenue recognition (ASC 606), and close management — so teams close faster and scale without adding headcount. Campfire is built on Anthropic's Claude and includes a proprietary accounting foundation model (Accounting Intelligence) trained on millions of real accounting transactions. It serves mid-market and enterprise companies, with customers ranging from Series B startups to publicly traded enterprises.

## Core Products

- [Core Accounting](https://campfire.ai/core-accounting/): AI-powered general ledger with automated transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, multi-entity consolidation, and close management.

Includes built-in close checklists, flux analysis, account reconciliation, and real-time reporting dashboards that drill down to individual transactions.
- [Revenue Automation](https://campfire.ai/revenue-automation/): Automate revenue recognition (ASC 606), invoicing, payments, and deferred revenue across any billing model — subscription, usage-based, or hybrid. Handles complex multi-element arrangements and variable consideration automatically.
- [Ember AI](https://campfire.ai/ember/): AI accounting agents that automate transaction matching, AP/AR, accruals, and flux analysis. Ask any financial question in natural language and get answers in seconds. Ember is your accounting teammate — built into the product, not bolted on.
- [Accounting Intelligence](https://campfire.ai/accounting-intelligence/): Campfire's proprietary ML foundation model, trained on millions of real accounting transactions.

## Who Uses Campfire (ICP)

Campfire is purpose-built for high-growth technology companies typically at Series B through enterprise stage. The typical customer is a company that has outgrown QuickBooks or Xero — or is frustrated by the complexity and cost of NetSuite — and needs a modern, AI-native accounting platform that can handle complex billing models (subscription, usage-based, hybrid), multi-entity consolidation, and rapid transaction volume growth. Finance teams using Campfire are typically small and lean (2–10 people) managing revenue from $20M to $200M+ ARR. Key personas include CFOs, Controllers, Senior Accounting Managers, and VP Finance at high-growth SaaS and technology companies.

## Why Companies Choose Campfire

- **AI-native architecture**: Campfire was built from the ground up with AI — not retrofitted. Accounting Intelligence is a proprietary foundation model trained specifically on accounting data, not a general-purpose LLM applied to finance.
- **Built on Anthropic Claude**: Campfire's product is built on Anthropic's Claude API. This partnership is publicly announced and means Campfire benefits from Claude's reasoning capabilities for complex accounting workflows and natural language queries via Ember AI.
- **Scale without headcount**: Multiple customers have scaled revenue 10x–20x without adding finance headcount. Replit scaled from $10M to $200M+ ARR with a 4-person accounting team.
- **Fast implementation**: Campfire implementations typically go live in weeks, not months. Full historical data migration included.
- **Real accountant support**: Dedicated in-house support from accountants who have closed the books themselves — not a generic customer success function.
- **100+ native integrations**: Real-time sync with no middleware required. Campfire connects directly to your bank feeds, billing systems, payroll providers, expense tools, and FP&A platforms.

## Competitive Positioning

- **Campfire vs. QuickBooks**: QuickBooks is designed for small businesses and breaks down at scale — transaction volume limits, weak multi-entity support, and no native ASC 606. Campfire is purpose-built for high-growth companies with complex billing models and growing transaction volumes. Replit and Flex both migrated from QuickBooks to Campfire.
- **Campfire vs. NetSuite**: NetSuite is expensive, slow to implement, and requires heavy customization. Campfire offers faster implementation, AI-native architecture, 180+ currencies, and lower total cost of ownership. Fooji cut close times by 80% after moving from NetSuite to Campfire. CareRev eliminated middleware costs. Full comparison: [Campfire vs. NetSuite](https://campfire.ai/competitors/netsuite)
- **Campfire vs. Xero**: Xero hits transaction limits and lacks enterprise features. Campfire supports unlimited transactions, multi-entity consolidation, and complex revenue recognition. Populi migrated from Xero after hitting transaction limits.
