Campfire for Private Equity
Modernize finance across your portfolio
The AI-native ERP that cuts finance cost, goes live in weeks, and gets every portfolio company exit-ready.
Our Private Equity Practice
The most experienced AI-native ERP practice in private equity
A dedicated team that works alongside your deal, operating, and value creation teams, from the first diligence call to the exit.
Built for sponsors
A dedicated private equity team led by our Global Head of Private Equity, focused only on sponsors and their portfolio companies.
Proven across the deal lifecycle
Diligence support, carve-outs that exit the TSA, buy-and-build add-ons folded into one ledger, and audit-ready books for exit.
Trusted by leading sponsors
Portfolio companies backed by top private equity firms already run on Campfire, across vertical software, business software, healthcare, education, marketplaces, and more.
Live in weeks. Lower cost. Exit-ready books. Eight value creation levers Campfire moves across your portfolio.

Legacy ERP eats the hold period. Why an AI-native ERP changes the math for a sponsor.
Upgrading to Ramp + Campfire changed the way our team works. The seamless integration and AI capabilities let us shave a day off both the beginning and end of close — while scaling with fewer people.
