Kinter

Kinter, also written Kinter.ai, is a San Francisco company building AI accountants, an agentic workforce that executes the expense side of the accounting close. It was founded by Gregg Mojica, whose earlier career built integration platforms and developer tools, and the team includes operators from Drip, Target, Goldman Sachs, Twilio, and Zendesk, among them a practicing CPA. Kinter is backed by tier one investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, and Y Combinator, alongside dozens of career operators and founders. The company frames its work around a structural labor shortage, with more than three hundred thousand accountants and auditors having left the United States workforce since 2019 while most finance teams remain stuck in a ten to fifteen day close. Kinter argues the answer is autonomous execution, not another checklist tool.

Unlike chat based copilots that wait for instructions, Kinter's agents work proactively and continuously through the month. They prepare accruals, identify prepaid expenses, automate payroll entries, reconcile accounts, rebuild tie outs and schedules, apply recognition rules, and draft journal entry proposals for review, matching roughly ninety five percent of transactions and surfacing exceptions in one place. The agents post approved entries straight into NetSuite or QuickBooks Online through a secure connection built by ERP experts, and they create working papers inside Kinter so every step carries its context. Approval is a click, and every action is logged, reviewable, and defensible, with no black boxes. Early customers report up to seventy percent time savings on identifying and managing expenses, and the company has engaged more than six hundred controllers and finance leaders to shape the product.

Kinter sits alongside a wave of AI finance tools but distinguishes itself by having agents that actually perform close tasks rather than assist with them, targeting controllers, VPs of finance, and directors of accounting who want a continuous close without adding headcount. It is a strong fit for finance teams on NetSuite or QuickBooks that want autonomous, auditable execution of expense side work. It is a weaker fit for organizations that need revenue side automation, open choice of the underlying model, or a self hosted deployment, none of which are documented, and for teams not on a supported ERP.
