Kinter, an AI workforce platform designed for accounting teams, has announced the public launch of its AI accountants. These autonomous AI agents are built to execute complex financial workflows safely and continuously, helping finance teams move beyond manual, end-of-month processes toward a real-time, continuous close model. By operating directly within enterprise systems such as NetSuite and QuickBooks, Kinter aims to reshape how accounting operations are performed at scale.

  • Kinter has launched AI accountants designed for autonomous financial workflows.

  • The agents operate directly within ERP systems such as NetSuite and QuickBooks.

  • The platform enables a shift from monthly close cycles to continuous close processes.

  • AI agents proactively handle accruals, prepaid expenses, payroll entries and journal drafts.

  • The solution addresses a growing global accounting labor shortage and inefficiency in finance operations.

  • Kinter is backed by investors including a16z, Bain Capital Ventures and Y Combinator.

AI Agents Designed to Transform Accounting Operations

Kinter’s AI accountants are designed to move beyond traditional chat-based tools by actively executing financial tasks rather than waiting for user prompts. The agents operate continuously within accounting systems, automating key expense-side processes and supporting finance teams with real-time execution.

The platform integrates directly with widely used enterprise resource planning systems such as NetSuite and QuickBooks, allowing organizations to streamline workflows without replacing their existing infrastructure.

Continuous Close Model for Modern Finance Teams

A core innovation of Kinter’s platform is its ability to support a continuous close model. Instead of relying on month-end manual reconciliation processes, AI agents continuously process financial data throughout the month.

The agents are designed to handle key accounting tasks including preparing accruals, identifying prepaid expenses, automating payroll entries and generating journal entry proposals for review. Each action is recorded with a transparent audit trail to ensure compliance and traceability.

"Finance software has lied to accountants for 30 years," said Gregg Mojica, CEO of Kinter. "It promised efficiency but delivered a faster way to do the same manual work. The bottleneck in finance is no longer data – it's execution. We built Kinter because the accounting industry deserves agents that actually do the work, not a spellchecker."

Addressing Structural Labor Gaps in Accounting

The launch of Kinter’s AI accountants comes at a time when the accounting industry is facing a significant workforce shortage. More than 300,000 accountants and auditors have exited the U.S. workforce since 2019, while fewer students are entering the profession.

Despite these challenges, many finance teams continue to operate within 10 to 15 day monthly close cycles. Kinter positions its AI agents as a solution to this inefficiency, enabling teams to increase output and accuracy without proportionally increasing headcount.

The company has engaged with more than 600 finance leaders, including controllers and directors of accounting, to refine its product development. It has also created "Closing Time," a community initiative for finance professionals exploring AI adoption, including in-person gatherings across major U.S. cities.

Early Adoption and Measurable Efficiency Gains

Kinter reports that early customers are already achieving significant efficiency improvements, with up to 70% time savings in identifying and managing expenses. The platform is being used in live environments to automate key financial workflows and reduce manual workload.

"Kinter was able to automatically identify our prepaids, including some that our team didn't even catch. This will make our close easier and more accurate," said Lorenda Christensen, Controller at QuoteVelocity.

These early use cases highlight the platform’s potential to improve accuracy and reduce operational friction in financial reporting processes.
