Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Rillet is a cloud-based ERP and accounting platform that positions itself as "AI-native," covering general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revenue recognition, month-end close and financial reporting. Its stated aim is a "zero-day" or continuous close, where books are updated in real time rather than through a long manual period-end process. The system is designed to replace legacy ERPs rather than sit alongside them, ingesting structured data through native integrations with CRM, billing, payments, payroll, AP, banking and tax systems so transactions can be posted to the ledger with sufficient context to avoid repeated manual exports and imports.

The product includes an automated general ledger with built-in schedules (revenue waterfall, deferred revenue, prepaids, fixed assets), contract-driven AR and invoicing with usage-based billing support, ASC 606 revenue recognition applied directly from contracts, multi-entity and multi-currency consolidation with intercompany eliminations and translation adjustments, flexible GAAP reporting with custom reporting dimensions, and a Launchpad dashboard surfacing real-time metrics such as cash reconciliation, outstanding invoices and system sync issues. Its AI layer, Aura AI, comprises an assistant for plain-language questions and report generation, workflow agents that execute accounting tasks end-to-end, always-on monitoring that flags anomalies and proposes accruals, and an MCP interface for connecting tools such as Salesforce, Snowflake, Claude and BI systems to live ledger data. Reporting combines GAAP financials with operator and SaaS metrics.

Rillet serves mid-market, enterprise and publicly listed companies, and states it works with public companies with over $2B in revenue. Named customers include Postscript, Windsurf, Mercor, Function Health, Temporal, Jump, Scribe and Haus.

Founding story

Rillet states it was founded in 2021 by Nicolas Kopp (CEO and co-founder) and Stelios Modes (CTO and co-founder). Kopp has described his experience as US CEO of N26, where waiting weeks for critical business metrics from world-class finance teams constrained by legacy systems prompted him to look for an alternative. He partnered with Modes, described as the technical architect behind N26's payment infrastructure, to rebuild enterprise accounting. The team frames the product as the ERP a group of accountants wished they had, citing frustration with manual data reconciliation, repeated ERP migrations and outgrowing starter systems.

Business model

Rillet sells a subscription cloud ERP that replaces a customer's legacy accounting system. Implementation is white-glove, performed by Rillet's own team of CPAs and ex-auditors, and typically takes four to six weeks depending on business complexity and the volume of historical data migrated.

Subscription software. Rillet states it does not charge per seat and does not price based on customer revenue; pricing is instead based on the features used and the complexity of the customer's operations.

Traction

Rillet reports more than 600 customers, including publicly listed enterprises and companies with over $2B in revenue, and a 5.0 G2 rating. It says it doubled new ARR in the three months preceding its August 2026 Series C, and had doubled ARR over the prior 12 weeks at the time of its August 2025 Series B, when it had signed over 200 customers. Company-stated platform metrics include 100M+ transactions processed daily, 99.7% of journal entries booked automatically, seven days saved on closing the books, and 12,000+ integrations available. Customer examples cited include Postscript, with over $100M in ARR, closing books in three days; Windsurf running finance with a team of two; and Mercor scaling past $2B in ARR with a finance team of three.

Latest developments

In August 2026 Rillet announced a $100 million Series C led by ICONIQ at a $1 billion valuation, with participation from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Global Equities, Bain Capital Ventures, Oak HC/FT, Battery Ventures, FirstMark, Scale Venture Partners and Creandum, bringing total funding past $200 million. CEO Nicolas Kopp said the round came together in under 48 hours and that the company had not planned to raise. Seth Pierrepont of ICONIQ joined the board. The proceeds are directed at what the company calls "accounting superintelligence" — AI agents performing finance work inside a real-time general ledger with human approval and audit trails. Rillet also launched an alliance with Ernst & Young for finance transformation earlier in 2026 and is expanding beyond tech and AI into biotech, healthcare, fintech, logistics and professional services.

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

Market position

Rillet competes in enterprise accounting software, a category it characterizes as a $500B+ global market dominated by incumbents including Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics and Acumatica. It publishes direct comparisons against NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Xero, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and fellow AI-native ERP Campfire, and distinguishes itself from close-orchestration overlays such as FloQast, BlackLine and Numeric. ICONIQ has publicly described the company as a market leader in AI-native accounting infrastructure. Rillet reports customers migrating from Oracle Fusion, SAP, Workday, Microsoft Great Plains and NetSuite.

Rillet argues that legacy ERPs are effectively databases that store transactions while the substantive work moves to spreadsheets and bolt-on analytics, and that recent AI products repeat this by layering agents on systems not designed for them. Its counter-position is a vertically integrated stack: native integrations feeding a real-time general ledger in which AI agents operate directly. Other stated differentiators include a team of 50+ CPAs from Big Four firms and operators from legacy ERP companies, implementations in four to six weeks versus the months required by traditional systems, and pricing decoupled from seats and revenue.

Technology

Rillet's architecture centers on a real-time, perpetual general ledger as the system of record, fed by native integrations rather than manual imports. AI and machine learning are applied inside accounting workflows for reconciliation suggestions, accrual proposals, report generation and journal-entry creation, with ledger-native auditability. The Aura AI layer includes an assistant, configurable workflow agents defined in plain English, continuous anomaly monitoring, and an MCP endpoint that lets external tools query live books. The company describes AI agents operating directly in the ledger with full context, human approval where required, and a complete audit trail, in contrast to agents layered on top of legacy systems.

Go-to-market

Direct sales supported by live product demos, comparison and total-cost-of-ownership content against incumbent ERPs, an AI-facing reference site, and in-person events (Rillet Recon). A significant channel is partnership with accounting firms: Rillet reports partnerships with EY, KPMG and RSM, an alliance with Ernst & Young for finance transformation launched in 2026, official partner status with more than half of the Accounting Today top 20 CPA firms, and earlier partnerships with Armanino and Wiss. Implementation is delivered in-house by CPAs and ex-auditors.

Finance and accounting organizations — CFOs, controllers, heads of accounting and accountants — at mid-market companies, fast-growing technology and AI companies, and publicly listed enterprises. Initially focused on tech and AI companies, Rillet reports expanding into biotech, healthcare, fintech, logistics and professional services. It also targets companies outgrowing QuickBooks Online.

Geography

Headquartered in San Francisco, California. The platform supports multi-entity and multi-currency operations for customers with global operations, including consolidated reporting with intercompany eliminations and translation adjustments.

History

Founded in 2021, Rillet emerged from stealth in 2024. In roughly mid-2025 it announced a $25 million Series A led by Sequoia, followed about 10 weeks later, on August 6, 2025, by a $70 million Series B co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and ICONIQ, bringing total funding above $100 million within a year. At the time of the Series B the company reported more than 200 customers. On August 17, 2026 Rillet announced a $100 million Series C led by ICONIQ at a $1 billion valuation, its third round in roughly 14 months, taking total funding past $200 million. By that point it reported more than 600 customers and an alliance with Ernst & Young launched earlier in 2026.

Risks & controversies

Performance and scale figures such as transactions processed, automation rates, close-time reductions and ARR growth are company-stated and presented as directional signals rather than independently verified. The company competes against entrenched incumbents with far larger installed bases, and its growth claims rest partly on a concentrated base of fast-growing technology and AI customers.
