AI Accounting Vendors

cfo.ai

cfo.ai, formerly Runway, is financial planning software for startup founders built around Ari, an AI agent. Ari connects to accounting, payroll, banking and billing systems and builds a live financial model from actuals. Users can ask questions, run scenarios and get alerts when metrics change, and can inspect or edit the model directly.
