InScope, a startup founded by former accountants Mary Antony and Kelsey Gootnick, has raised $14.5 million in Series A funding to develop an AI-powered financial reporting platform. The platform aims to automate many of the manual tasks involved in preparing financial statements, such as verifying math and formatting, which can save accountants up to 20% of their time.

Why it matters

The financial reporting process is notoriously complex and time-consuming, with accountants often relying on a patchwork of spreadsheets and documents. InScope's platform seeks to address this pain point by leveraging AI to streamline the process, potentially making it more efficient for companies and accounting firms.

The details

Antony and Gootnick, who previously worked at companies like Flexport, Miro, Hopin, and Thrive Global, launched InScope in 2023 after repeatedly encountering the same manual challenges in financial reporting. The startup's platform automates various aspects of the process, from verifying math to formatting financial statements. While InScope isn't yet fully automating the generation of income statements and balance sheets, the company says its tools can save accountants up to 20% of their time.
