Company profile
researched Aug 2026LiveFlow is a New York-headquartered financial software company that operates two product lines. Flow is described as an agentic accounting platform and AI-native ERP that closes books, reconciles accounts, manages accounts receivable and drafts journal entries across multiple entities in real time. LiveFlow FP&A automates consolidation, reporting and budgeting on top of a customer's existing ERP, and includes consolidation, dashboards, FinanceIQ, and add-ins for Google Sheets and Excel.
Flow's architecture is built around a set of specialized agents coordinated by an Orchestrator that routes work and escalates items requiring human judgment: a Bill Handler for bills and vendor payments, a Categorizer for transaction coding, a Reconciler for book-to-bank matching, a Closer for close review and anomaly detection, a Reporter for consolidations, eliminations and multi-currency reports, an AR Clerk for invoicing and collections follow-up, and a Consolidator for entity structure and intercompany handling. The product emphasizes intercompany workflows, shared accounts, eliminations, unlimited tags and dimensions, flexible real-time reporting, and rapid migration of full transactional history in contrast to multi-month traditional ERP implementations.
The company markets to physical, multi-location and multi-entity businesses, with industry pages for construction (job costing and multi-project), healthcare (multi-location clinics), food and beverage, retail, technology, franchises and private equity. Y Combinator's profile describes LiveFlow as a unified AI-ERP and FP&A platform serving more than 6,000 businesses with a team size of 51.
Founding story
LiveFlow was founded in 2021 by Lasse Kalkar and Anita Koimur, who met in the fintech sector: Kalkar was previously Head of Growth, Nordics at Revolut and had earlier worked at Nova Founders Capital and built a micro-investing app, while Koimur, LiveFlow's COO, ran business development for Revolut Rewards and led its product rollout across thirteen markets in EMEA, the United States and APAC. The company joined Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch, with Nicolas Dessaigne as primary partner.
Business model
LiveFlow sells subscription software to businesses and accounting firms, offering two product lines: Flow, an AI-native ERP and agentic accounting platform positioned as a replacement for QuickBooks Online and an alternative to NetSuite, and LiveFlow FP&A, which layers consolidation, dashboards, reporting and budgeting on a customer's existing ERP, with spreadsheet add-ins for Google Sheets and Excel. Prospects are directed to a pricing page and a demo booking flow. In the payments/data-access chain, LiveFlow acts as an agent of Plaid Financial Ltd., an authorized payment institution regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, which provides regulated account information services through LiveFlow.
Software sold to businesses and accounting firms across two product lines, Flow (agentic accounting/AI-native ERP) and LiveFlow FP&A, with a published pricing page and sales conducted via booked demos.

Market position
LiveFlow describes its target as the $200 billion-plus accounting and finance industry, aiming to replace a fragmented legacy finance stack with a single system, and states it serves more than 6,000 businesses. Its named customer references include accounting firms BDO and KLR and brands such as Wendy's and Crumbl Cookies. It competes with established accounting and ERP systems including QuickBooks Online and NetSuite.
LiveFlow positions Flow against legacy and general-purpose systems: it is presented as a direct replacement for QuickBooks Online for complex multi-entity operations and as an alternative to NetSuite, which the company says can take six to twelve months to implement and require substantial consulting spend, versus a full migration of transactional history in under a day. Other stated differentiators include native multi-entity consolidation and intercompany eliminations without spreadsheet workarounds, unlimited tags and dimensions, flexible real-time reporting, an orchestrated multi-agent architecture that escalates only judgment calls to humans, and industry-specific configurations for physical businesses.
Technology
Flow uses an orchestrated multi-agent design in which an Orchestrator agent sequences the month-end close and routes tasks to specialist agents (Bill Handler, Categorizer, Reconciler, Closer, Reporter, AR Clerk, Consolidator), surfacing only items needing human sign-off. The platform supports intercompany transactions and eliminations, customizable consolidated and multi-currency reporting, unlimited tags and dimensions, automated workflows, rapid migration of complete transactional history, and native and third-party integrations including Ramp. LiveFlow FP&A adds dashboards, FinanceIQ and Google Sheets and Excel connectivity. The company states it is SOC 2 Type II compliant.
Go-to-market
The company sells through a demo-led motion, with book-a-demo calls to action across the site, published pricing, industry-specific landing pages, and content marketing including a blog, case studies, webinars, press page and an annual report titled "Finance in the AI Era" (2026 edition). It has served accounting firms as a distribution channel, including global firms such as BDO and KLR, and following its Series A it stated plans to expand its New York-based go-to-market team.
Growing, multi-entity and multi-location "physical" businesses in construction, healthcare, food and beverage and retail, plus technology companies, franchises and private equity portfolios; also accounting and finance teams and accounting firms, for whom LiveFlow Next was built.
Geography
Headquarters are in New York City, with team members distributed globally; job listings cover London, New York and San Francisco. LiveFlow's regulated account information services in the UK are provided through its status as an agent of Plaid Financial Ltd., which is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
