Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Leapfin, operating as Leap Technologies, Inc., provides software that automates the record-to-report process for finance and accounting teams. The platform ingests transaction data from payment service providers, billing systems, order management tools, marketplaces, data warehouses and legacy ERPs, standardizes it into a consistent accounting-ready format, and generates journal entries and summaries for the customer's ERP. Core capabilities include revenue recognition automation, payment and revenue reconciliation, month-end close acceleration, reporting, audit trails, period locking, traceability of linked transactions, and compliance support for standards such as GAAP, SOX and ASC 606.

A native AI agent called Luca lets users query financial data with natural-language prompts to create ad-hoc reports, investigate anomalies, build automated accounting workflows and document accounting treatments. The company frames its AI approach as a "glass box": data transformation and a rules-based accounting engine come first, with AI layered on top of auditable data. Leapfin positions itself as a supplement to ERPs, which the founders argue have become systems of record for summarized month-end journal entries rather than for granular financial data.

Product packaging is a SaaS annual subscription in three tiers — Standard (from $500/month), Premium (from $1,000/month) and Enterprise (custom) — differentiated by number of native integrations, AI workflow features, security controls (SSO, role-based access control), support level and availability SLA (99.0%–99.5%). Implementation and onboarding are included and typically take four to six weeks, spanning goal alignment, integration setup, standard and advanced accounting workflow configuration, validation and a guided close.

Founding story

Leapfin was founded by Ray Lau and Erik Yao after years of jointly owning financial operations and building software. Lau traces the idea to his time in the Business Operations organization at Zynga, where answering a simple ROI question required pulling Tableau and Oracle ERP reports and about two weeks of spreadsheet work — leading to the conclusion that ERPs are no longer the source of truth for granular financial data and that finance needed a purpose-built financial data management layer.

Business model

Software-as-a-service sold as an annual subscription (multi-year terms available, typically at a discount), with tiered plans starting at $500/month for Standard and $1,000/month for Premium and custom pricing for Enterprise. Pricing is adjusted for complexity such as custom integrations and revenue recognition requirements; add-on fees apply to items including the Leap Connect API, SSO, role-based access control and solutions architect services. Monthly subscriptions are not offered.

Recurring annual subscription fees per plan tier, plus additional fees for optional integrations, security features and professional services.

Traction

Named customers include GoodRx, Reddit, Eight Sleep, SeatGeek, Canva, Guideline, Poshmark, Top Hat, Outside Interactive, Altitude Sports, Vimeo, Sports Illustrated and Flexport. Customer-reported outcomes cited by the company include close-time reductions of 50% (six days to three), 89% and 90%, closing in five days versus a prior 90 days, elimination of four days of manual work, roughly 50 hours saved per month, automation of revenue recognition for 1.2 million orders per year, and doubling transaction volume without adding accounting headcount.

Latest developments

The company announced a partnership with Metronome to connect usage-based billing data with accounting, added Airwallex as an integration partner for ingesting payments data, published a 2025 State of Automation for Revenue Accounting research report, and released AI-powered workflows built through natural-language prompts. Its website prominently links to an announcement about Leapfin joining Airwallex.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

Positions itself as an AI infrastructure and data foundation layer that supplements ERPs such as NetSuite and Oracle for revenue accounting rather than replacing them, targeting complex, high-volume revenue environments.

Emphasis on granular, transaction-level data capture from all revenue sources translated automatically into GAAP-compliant financial events at high volume, full traceability from journal entry back to individual line items for audit support, and an AI agent built on top of a rules-based accounting engine rather than operating as an opaque model.

Technology

A data engine designed for high-volume ingestion and transformation of operational financial data into balanced journal entries and accounting records. Company-published scale figures cite 400 billion journal entries created per year, 3 billion per day, 325 million per hour, 44.2 billion accounting records per year, 30 million transactions processed per hour, 500 million per day and 17.6 billion per year. Functional layers cover unification (real-time ingestion), transformation, control, traceability, exploration (including a connected accounting map) and delivery. The Luca AI agent supports natural-language data exploration, agentic workflow creation and automated documentation; a Leap Connect API is available for additional integrations.

Go-to-market

Direct sales supported by demo requests, an on-demand product tour and interactive demo, published customer stories, recorded webinars, research reports (a 2025 State of Automation for Revenue Accounting report), a blog and a monthly email newsletter. Technology and services partnerships extend distribution, and the company references named reference customers in its marketing.

Finance and accounting functions within the office of the CFO — controllers, accountants, revenue accounting and revenue operations managers, VPs of finance and CFOs — at high-growth, high-transaction-volume businesses with subscription, usage-based and marketplace billing models.

Geography

Headquartered in San Mateo, California.

History

The founders built the company around the mission of liberating financial information so businesses can make and trust their decisions. In July 2022 the company announced a $12.2 million Series A led by Crosslink Capital with participation from Uncorrelated and Work-Bench, intended to fund product development and team growth. The product line has since expanded into AI capabilities, including the Luca agent for data exploration, AI-powered workflows and AI-generated documentation. The company's website carries an announcement titled "Joining Airwallex: Leapfin's Exciting Next Chapter."
