Problem
For most startup and SMB owners, finance is a chore and rarely front of mind. Managing accounting, payroll, and financial planning in-house is time-consuming, expensive, and distracts from core business activities, often leading to disorganized books and cash flow issues.
Solution
Porter provides an enterprise-grade finance team and a modern accounting software built for the AI age, at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house. The platform acts as a daily interface for all finance-related tasks, accessible via a dedicated app, Claude, Slack, or email. Porter scales with the business, keeping books simple and cash flowing when small, and expanding to cover collections, vendor management, payroll, and financial planning as the company grows. This allows users to scale their finance function in a click, without the need to hire, onboard, or manage a finance department.
Target Audience
Primary customers are VC-backed startups, SMBs, and companies in proptech, healthtech, professional services, and home services that need reliable financial management without building an in-house team.
