Why we built numero

The Origin

Finance and accounting teams are under constant pressure to move faster, be more efficient, and operate with flawless accuracy. Yet they’re stuck fighting inefficiencies caused by fragmented systems, scattered documents, and time-draining manual work. These challenges rob teams of over 20% of their time each week-delaying decisions, increasing risk, and draining resources.

After two decades of working closely with finance and revenue teams-especially in transforming the Quote-to-Cash (Q2C) process-we’ve seen firsthand how hard it is to get clean, consistent data. Critical information is buried in contracts, spreadsheets, and PDFs, requiring endless manual effort just to get to the source of truth.

That frustration-and the opportunity to solve it with a purpose-built AI native platform-is what inspired us to build Numero.

Numero was designed specifically for finance leaders and their unique, complex needs. It provides one centralized platform where leaders can access all critical financial data and documents, spanning systems, sources, and unstructured information. Using AI that behaves like a finance and accounting expert, Numero enables users to extract insights, conduct detailed research, and perform complex analyses in seconds-all by simply asking. 

This isn’t just automation. It’s transformational innovation built to eliminate inefficiencies and unlock new opportunities for strategic decision-making.

Solving Real Problems with AI

Most automation tools focus on transactional tasks-generating incremental efficiency without solving the deeper, judgment-intensive challenges finance teams face every day. Numero’s AI is built differently: it’s trained to understand financial nuance and context, making it ideal for work that traditionally requires expert review and countless hours of manual effort.

Imagine having to sift through thousands of customer agreements just to identify the few with non-standard terms that could impact revenue recognition. Or spending days combing through hundreds of 10-K filings to understand how peers are disclosing a specific accounting position. Or trying to digest a 1,000+ page new accounting standard just to write an internal memo that interprets and applies it accurately.

These aren’t edge cases-they’re everyday realities. And they often force teams to work with incomplete samples because reviewing every document simply isn’t feasible.

With Numero, teams can analyze entire populations of contracts, filings, or GAAP documents in seconds. Our AI doesn’t just automate-it understands the context, highlights what matters, and grounds every response in source documentation. The result? Faster, more complete analyses with less guesswork.

This is how Numero transforms finance operations: deeper insight, higher confidence, and significant time saved-every quarter.

By Finance Experts, For Finance Experts

Built by professionals working in and with finance for decades, Numero incorporates our shared frustrations with limitations embedded in existing processes and tools. We know the value of checks, accuracy, and accountability-qualities that finance demands-and we baked these into Numero’s DNA. 

For instance, Connor Group, a leading technical accounting and financial reporting firm, uses Numero to accelerate GAAP and SEC research, substantially! They now delegate complex analytical work to less experienced team members without sacrificing speed or quality. By automating tedious searches and document reviews, they’ve freed their teams to focus on skill-building, critical review, and higher-value activities.

Simple, Friendly, and Intuitive

While the problems we’re solving are complex, Numero remains simple to use. Within hours, teams can start accessing value from the platform, eliminating long implementation cycles. Training and onboarding is quick, within an hour users are up and running. From day one, Numero begins saving time, increasing decision-making speed, and reducing risks. We’re committed to making AI approachable and efficient for the people who need it most.

Our Vision for the Future

Numero isn’t just solving today’s inefficiencies-it’s redefining how finance teams work, now and into the future.

Our vision is to make Numero the daily place of work for finance-a single, intelligent starting point where every analysis begins, every document is accessible, and every question has a clear, grounded answer. A platform that learns, adapts, and evolves alongside the professionals who rely on it.

With powerful and more product launches on the way-we're continuing to eliminate busywork and enable finance teams to focus on what truly matters: insight, accuracy, and impact.
