In their own words
Futureproof
Futureproof describes itself as an AI finance team for ecommerce brands and early-stage software companies, built around its own general ledger. Six agents cover bookkeeping, receivables, payables, cash forecasting, revenue and margin analysis, and investor reporting. The bookkeeping agent posts transactions, reconciles bank, card, and payout activity, and closes books daily. Agents propose actions, but customer approval is required before money moves or the books change. Listed integrations include Amazon, eBay, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Stripe, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Ramp, and Brex. Amazon and eBay connect directly, Shopify is in beta, and TikTok Shop is coming soon. Bank and card feeds connect read-only through Plaid; Ramp and Brex connect directly. Books and reports can be exported in CSV, XLS, or PDF. QuickBooks history can be migrated in one click, while other systems can be brought in by file export. Every plan includes a monthly review with a human financial specialist. The standard plan costs $1,000 a month, billed monthly in advance. A 14-day trial is listed, and the platform runs on web.
