About this episode
In this episode, host Sasha Pilch sits down with John Glasgow, CEO and CFO of Campfire, to explore what it takes to build an AI-native ERP for modern finance teams.
John shares why the next major shift in accounting software is not from on-premise systems to the cloud, but from cloud tools to AI-native platforms. They discuss the reporting, consolidation, and planning challenges that still force finance teams into spreadsheets, along with Campfire’s approach to automating routine workflows while keeping governance and business context at the center.
The conversation also covers John’s path from investment banking and corporate finance at Adobe to building Campfire through Y Combinator, plus his view on how AI agents and connected data can change the role of the general ledger.
