Overview
Kinter evolved from Alloy Automation (YC W20), which built workflow automation connectors. The company now deploys AI agents inside NetSuite and QuickBooks that autonomously handle accruals, prepaid expenses, payroll entries, and journal-entry drafting — enabling a continuous close instead of a 10–15-day month-end cycle. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital Ventures, Kinter publicly launched its AI accountant agents in June 2026.
