About

Finlens is an AI co-pilot for QuickBooks, built for founders and accounting firms who want faster closes, real-time visibility, and clean books without the spreadsheet chaos. We automate categorisation, GAAP schedules, and collaboration, all on top of your existing QuickBooks setup. No migrations. No change management. Just a smarter way to work with the stack you already use. Backed by Y Combinator (W20) and Accel. Built by second-time founders who’ve seen the finance backend break — and decided to rebuild it.
