About Us
We know that the old way of accounting can be tedious.
We’ve lived it.
After joining as the first accounting and finance hire at a venture backed start-up, I was thrown into managing our first audit and building out accounting infrastructure.
And it was frustrating. Exporting trial balances. Hours of manual data entry. Scrambling to pull together everything auditors needed.
Tools on the market were either
A) powerful but took months to implement or
B) easy to implement but fell short of making real impact.

Numeric was founded to build the software that I wanted managing accounting & finance at a high-growth company.
Software with integrations deep enough that you can click into every transaction-line in your ERP, that incorporates AI to reduce manual work, and that looks and feels modern.
All of which are possible not by simply tacking on quick fixes to accounting workflows, but by taking a first-principles approach to how accounting should be done in 2024.
Founded 3 years ago and with hundreds of companies onboard, we’re laser-focused on building the future of accounting — ultimately, helping companies make better business decisions with accurate, timely financial data. And we’re starting with the month-end close.

Continuous Improvement
We care deeply about shortening the time to value for what we build and move quickly to release product and features.
How we hire reflects this value as well. A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept.
