Numeric is a San Francisco-based, AI-native accounting platform that automates the month-end close for controllers, CFOs and senior accountants. Founded in 2020 by Parker Gilbert, Anthony Alvernaz and Andrew Bihl, it unifies close management, analytics and cash reconciliation into one system, using AI to draft flux (variance) explanations, reconcile accounts and flag anomalies in transaction data. Companies including Brex, Plaid, Wealthfront, OpenAI and Betterment use Numeric to close their books faster and with fewer manual steps. The company has raised roughly $89 million to date, capped by a $51 million Series B in November 2025.
