Problem

Good bookkeeping is the financial foundation for startups. Legacy accounting products make the process unnecessarily complex and confusing, failing to provide the metrics and reporting that founders and investors need.

Solution

Afternoon.co is new accounting software purpose-built for founders, with two key differentiators:

  1. Built-in Intelligence: Afternoon.co leverages AI to handle tasks traditionally done by humans. For example, it finds receipts in your Gmail inbox and automatically matches them to expenses, sparing you from constantly uploading receipts. Our AI assistant also helps answer questions instantly, so you’re never blocked.
  2. Collaborative from Day 1: Bookkeeping is a team effort, often involving lengthy email chains. We’ve embedded collaboration features into our software for seamless communication and task tracking between founders and accountants, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Today, we offer a fully managed service, pairing our software with bookkeeping and tax filing services handled by expert accountants.

Team

Hey all, we are Ben and Roman! We’ve spent the last 10 years working at Square, Gusto, Brex, and Notion, leading teams as engineers and PMs that built accounting integrations, enterprise FP&A software, and personal banking products. We believe that having a good grasp on company finances for founders is crucial for startup success, and excited to make it effortless.
