What Ember Agents are
Ember Agents are intelligent, always-on agents that run across your entire accounting operation. From the moment a transaction enters your system, agents are categorizing it, reconciling it, and flagging anything that doesn't look right.
Your Receivables agent is matching payments to invoices before your team opens their laptops. Your Payables agent is coding invoices, catching duplicates, and routing approvals. Your Audit agent is continuously monitoring for anomalies, policy violations, and miscodings — and building the audit trail you'll need for your next funding round or IPO.
Nothing posts without your team's review. Ember Agents surface findings; your team approves and moves on.
"Superpower your accounting team. Close the books 5x faster without hiring anyone new. Automate the work and keep the control."
Always-running agents
Continuous Close — Matches bank transactions to GL entries, identifies and proposes coding for uncategorized transactions, proposes month-end accruals based on historical patterns, amortizes prepaids on schedule, suggests department and cost center allocations, and matches intercompany transactions across entities.
Accounts Receivable — Matches customer payments to open invoices with AI-powered fuzzy matching. Automates cash application for incoming payments including partial and overpayments. Monitors AR aging and flags overdue accounts before they become collection issues. Detects duplicate customer records and proposes merging.
Accounts Payable — Auto-codes incoming invoices to GL accounts based on vendor history. Flags duplicate invoices before payment goes out. Fuzzy-matches similar vendor names and proposes merging duplicates. Creates and manages amortization schedules for prepaid expenses. Surfaces missing payment applications.
Audit (Sentinel) — Detects miscoded GL accounts, duplicate transactions, and missing documentation continuously. Flags policy violations against your uploaded accounting policies. Identifies intercompany mismatches, reconciliation discrepancies, and accrual errors. Surfaces statistical outliers across all transaction types. Prepares and validates supporting schedules for external audit requests.
On-demand agents
Flux Analysis — Runs period-over-period variance analysis on any GL account, department, or cost center. AI-generated commentary explains the why behind each material variance — editable and saveable to your close checklist. Drill into supporting transactions directly from variance highlights.
Accruals — Manages a full accruals subledger with prior-period balances and proposed new entries. Pulls accrual data from Campfire, forwarded email invoices, or CSV uploads. Auto-calculates pro-rated amounts and creates reversal entries for the following period.
Custom agents
Build automated workflows for any recurring finance task — no code, no consultants. Just describe what you need. Campfire builds and runs it on your schedule, across your GL, and delivers results where your team works.
Examples: post month-end accruals and auto-reverse on the first; split costs across GL codes on a set schedule; generate journal entries from vendor emails; deliver P&L by segment to Slack; run cash flow forecasts on demand.
The result
Teams on Campfire reclaim hundreds of hours every month. Close gets faster, analysis gets deeper, and questions get answered the same day they're asked.
"It's a problem if you're not using this. If your head is not here — you're not going to be competitive. That's the real bottom line." — Nigel, CFO of Masterworks
