Built for you

The AI stack built for small finance teams.

Close, AP/AR, cash forecasting, FP&A, and board reporting — without ripping out your ERP.

A 3-person finance team supporting a 200-person company lives in the gaps between tools. You own the month-end close in NetSuite or QuickBooks, chase AP approvals in Ramp or Bill.com, reconcile AR against Stripe payouts, build the 13-week cash forecast from scratch in a Google Sheet every Friday, rebuild the board deck in Sheets and paste it into slides, and answer one-off 'what's our gross margin by product line?' questions from the CEO in the middle of close week. Your ERP is fine at ledger work and terrible at everything the CFO actually wants to see. Starch doesn't replace NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Ramp — it syncs live from them (QuickBooks and NetSuite as Tier 1 direct integrations, Stripe and Plaid too) and lets you build the in-between surfaces: the 13-week cash model, the flux-analysis tracker, the AR aging dashboard the CEO keeps asking for, and the board pack that currently takes you three days every quarter.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace QuickBooks or NetSuite to use Starch?
No. Both are Tier 1 direct integrations — Starch syncs invoices, bills, payments, vendors, journal entries, and P&L data on a schedule. Your ERP stays the system of record; Starch builds the forecasting, flux analysis, and board-ready reporting on top of the live data. Xero and Sage Intacct users connect via the integration browser.
Are there pre-built apps for finance teams?
Yes, this is the deepest App Store vertical. Runway Analysis, Scenario Analysis, Budgeting, Spend Insights, and Investor Reporting are all live and pull from Plaid, Stripe, QuickBooks, and NetSuite. For anything specific — a 13-week cash model with your exact bucketing, a flux analysis tracker, an AR aging dashboard — you describe it and Starch builds it.
Can Starch accelerate the monthly close?
Partially. Starch doesn't post journal entries for you, but it can flag anomalies in your transaction feed, reconcile Stripe payouts against QuickBooks deposits, draft the flux analysis commentary from prior-period variances, and keep a live close checklist that pings owners in Slack when their task is ready. Close weeks go from 10 days to 6-7 for most teams.
How does this handle cash forecasting?
Scenario Analysis pulls Plaid bank transactions, Stripe payouts, and QuickBooks/NetSuite AR aging to build a 13-week forecast grounded in real data, not a blank template. You can model different collection-rate assumptions, vendor payment timings, and headcount adds, and produce the view the CEO actually reviews — without rebuilding the spreadsheet each Friday.
What about board reports and investor updates?
Investor Reporting pulls live financials from QuickBooks or NetSuite plus Stripe and Plaid, generates the MRR/ARR, burn, runway, and margin views, and produces a draft narrative. Presentation Agent turns the numbers into a slide deck. You still review and edit, but the 3-day board-deck rebuild becomes a 2-hour review.
Is this secure enough for financial data?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and financial connections (Plaid, Stripe, QuickBooks, NetSuite) use OAuth with scoped read-only access by default. Honest note: Starch is not SOC 2 Type II certified yet, and there's no on-prem option. For most small finance teams at sub-500-person companies this is comparable to existing SaaS posture; flag strict compliance needs during beta signup.
