About Stacks

At Stacks, we’re transforming the way finance teams approach one of their most critical processes: the monthly close. For mid to large enterprises, this is still a manual, painful workflow that drags finance teams away from strategic work. We believe this needs to change.

Our vision is bold: with the power of AI, we’re reimagining the monthly close to be as simple as a single click - delivering accurate, detailed financial insights on day one of every month. By giving finance teams their time back, we enable them to focus on high-impact initiatives that matter.

Our team brings together finance, product, and technical expertise from companies like Uber, Plaid, Miro, Mollie, and Bunq, united by the ambition to reshape the future of finance. Based in the heart of Amsterdam, our office overlooks the iconic canals. Backed by top-tier VCs and executives from Stripe, Plaid, and OpenAI, we’re just getting started.
