Cashboard is a New York-based, Y Combinator-backed (S22) startup building a semantic layer that sits between a company's financial data and AI. It stores the metrics, data models, mappings and permissions that let AI agents - and finance teams - produce accurate, governed FP&A work: reports, dashboards and analysis pulled from 900+ connected systems. Founder Julian Rowlands frames the goal as turning AI into a 'trusted FP&A machine' and, eventually, the 'solo CFO.' The company raised a $5M seed led by FINTOP Capital in July 2026.
Rohit Gupta is the co-founder and CEO of Auditoria.AI, a Santa Clara startup that builds AI agents for corporate finance teams.

He started Auditoria in 2019 to bring automation to the back office of finance, and in 2025 raised a $38M Series B to push the company into the agentic-AI era.
