About
We're replacing the labor layer of the back office
Closora is building the autonomous finance function — reliable, auditable, and aligned to the controller's P&L. No glow effects. Just answers that match the bank.

Mission
Why we exist
Replace the rule-based cognitive labor of the modern back office with agents that are trustworthy enough to run the close — and honest enough to escalate when they shouldn't.
Vision
In ten years, every mid-market company runs Closora — not because they chose to, but because there is no realistic alternative.
Values
The five we hire and build against
Reliability is the moat
Evals before features. A verifier on every action.
Craft over churn
Design is moat in an era of commodity models.
Pricing is alignment
Charge for value delivered, not seats hoarded.
Boring is beautiful
Finance needs answers that match the bank, not theatrics.
Story
How we got here
The observation
Reasoning models, realtime voice, and open ERP APIs converged in a 12-month window.
The bet
Owned, fine-tuned models behind a verifier beat horizontal chat for every finance workflow.
The build
A vertically-integrated agent team — perception, reasoning, action, and audit — for the close.
Team
Built by finance ops people and GPU engineers
A founding team that lived the manual close problem — and the technical depth to replace it with owned, verifier-gated agents.
