Campfire, the AI-native ERP built for modern finance teams, today announced the launch of Ember Agents: a suite of AI workers that handle accounting and finance operations continuously in the background, without being asked.
Ember Agents are built on Accounting Intelligence, Campfire's proprietary foundation model trained specifically on accounting data. The model understands chart of accounts structure, vendor patterns, and what a clean set of books should look like. That foundation powers agents that can match transactions, process AP and AR, manage accruals, flag anomalies, run period-over-period flux analysis, and prepare close packages — with enough confidence to proactively act, not just suggest.
"Most accounting teams are running lean right now — the work keeps growing and the headcount doesn't," said John Glasgow, founder and CEO of Campfire. "Ember Agents were built to serve as the newest members of your team. Our customers aren't trying to replace their accountants. They're trying to give their accounting team back the hours that have been consumed by manual work."
Ember Agents launches with two modes:
- Continuous agents run 24/7, handling recurring operational work like transaction matching, AP and AR processing, anomaly detection, and accruals management.
- On-demand agents run on a schedule — period-over-period flux analysis, close prep, board reporting — added directly to a team's monthly close checklist and running the same way every period.
Every agent action is logged, sourced to the underlying GL data, and reviewable before it posts. Built-in confidence thresholds let teams control exactly how much the system acts versus surfaces for review, with the ability to expand autonomy as trust grows.
Campfire customers are already seeing the impact. "If you're not using Agents, it's a problem," said Nigel Glenday, CFO and COO of Masterworks. "The future of finance is agentic, and if your head's not here, you're not going to remain competitive. Campfire's agents are leading the way."
The launch follows a period of significant customer momentum for Campfire. Fast-growing companies including Replit, Decagon, and PostHog are already running a 5x faster close on the platform, with customers reporting up to 70% savings in operational expenses and teams scaling revenue dramatically without adding finance headcount.
Ember Agents is available in beta today for existing Campfire customers. Finance teams not yet on Campfire can book a demo at campfire.ai/demo.
