Campfire raises $65M Series B to redefine how finance works in AI era

Friday, October 17, 2025 — 16:08:59 (UTC)

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Campfire, the company reimagining ERP for modern finance teams, today announced a $65 million Series B co-led by Accel and Ribbit, with continued investment from Foundation Capital and Y Combinator, along with angel investors including Karim Atiyeh, Co-Founder & CTO at Ramp, Brad Floering, VP of Finance, FP&A at Snowflake, Steve Sidhu, Controller at Clay, Scott Buxton, CFO at Supabase, and Naeem Ishaq, Former EVP, CFO & Chief Strategy Officer at Checkr.

The round comes only 12 weeks after Campfire's $35 million Series A, bringing total funding to more than $100 million. Campfire reached this milestone faster than any other AI-native ERP this year. The raise follows 10x year-to-date revenue growth as finance teams across six continents turn to Campfire to automate manual work, close faster, and scale with clarity.

ERP is one of the largest and most established categories in enterprise software, long dominated by SAP and Oracle - systems that have barely evolved since the 1990s. As AI reshapes how finance operates, Campfire is emerging as the modern alternative, built for today's fast-moving, global teams.

"Legacy ERPs are structured for a different era, and as a finance exec I felt that pain firsthand," said John Glasgow, Founder & CEO at Campfire. "We built Campfire to reimagine ERP for the AI age with workflows that think, learn, and move as fast as finance teams do today. We're proud to deepen our partnership with Accel, who led our Series A, and to welcome Ribbit as a new partner as we bring that vision to more companies around the world."

Campfire's product has seen rapid adoption from both high-growth startup and enterprise businesses. Customers like PostHog, Decagon, Replit, Heidi Health, Klarity, CloudZero, and Advisor360 have replaced legacy systems to run their core financial operations on Campfire.

"Campfire is modern, flexible, and has an intuitive design that makes day to day tasks less of a grind. I'm looking forward to spending more time analyzing, and less time troubleshooting clunky processes. Campfire's AI automates your reconciliations, flags anomalies, and even helps draft reports. It's a real game changer," said Ryan Ang, Controller, Decagon.

"Since we operate in the public markets, we have to be thoughtful with every decision we make. Our team was impressed by the robust features, extensibility of the platform, and granularity of permissioning for a SOX environment. We've enjoyed building with the Campfire team to modernize the future of our accounting, together," said Patrick Journy, CFO, LimaOne (NYSE: MFA).

The company's momentum reflects a broader shift underway in the $3 trillion ERP market. Campfire has grown 10x year to date, completed multiple large-scale migrations off legacy platforms, including SAP, and established partnerships with public company customers listed on the NYSE.

A key part of Campfire's differentiation is its advanced use of AI, including L.A.M. (Large Accounting Model), its newly announced proprietary AI model, trained exclusively on accounting data to automate tasks with industry-leading accuracy. Already achieving 95% accuracy on key workflows like reconciliations and variance detection, L.A.M. represents a foundational step toward fully intelligent finance operations.

"Campfire is building a special company. We're excited to deepen our partnership with John Glasgow and the team, and to work with our friends at Ribbit," said John Locke, Partner at Accel. "Campfire is addressing a massive opportunity in the market, and we look forward to doing the work together to build the ERP for the future."

"Campfire caught our attention by solving a problem every CFO knows: finance teams still rely on Excel and email while the rest of the organization moves on to modern software," said Nick Shalek, General Partner at Ribbit. "John understands the reality of financial operations because he's experienced them, and that authenticity drives every product decision. By quietly building the infrastructure that makes AI in finance useful, Campfire represents exactly what Ribbit looks for: companies that transform critical but historically underserved functions and industries."
