Rebecca
I’ve lived inside the finance function my entire career - from ex-big 4er to in-house finance leader. I’ve built finance teams and systems from the ground up, led complex migrations, and battled the broken workflows that define today’s finance tech stack. I’ve seen the pain from every angle: as a service provider, a builder, and a user. Founders chase product-market fit. I am the validation of the problem, and the founder-market fit. I'm not just building software; I’m rebuilding the infrastructure I wish I had. As an ex-accountant turned founder, I’m on a mission to modernize the back office and deliver an all-in-one AI finance platform that replaces fragmentation with clarity, speed, and automation.
