Quanto, an AI-powered platform built to help accounting firms scale, today announced a significant new investment from a16z Speedrun, one of the world’s most recognized early-stage accelerators backed by Andreessen Horowitz. This milestone marks a major validation of Quanto’s vision: not to replace accountants, but to empower them to build stronger, more scalable firms.

The company, now part of the a16z Speedrun SR06 cohort, has rapidly emerged as one of the most closely watched startups in the accounting technology space. In just three months, Quanto has grown an active LinkedIn community of more than 5,000 accountants, attracting the attention of industry leaders and global investors.

Addressing the Largest Shift in Accounting History

With 75% of the accounting profession nearing retirement age, the industry is entering its most significant transition in decades. Millions of business owners will require new accountants, while new businesses continue to launch at record pace.

Quanto’s platform enables accounting firms to:

• Acquire and onboard entire accounting firms and client books seamlessly, removing friction from M&A and consolidation.
• More than double revenue without proportional staffing increases, thanks to automated workflows and structured onboarding.
• Achieve operating margins above 60% with AI Agents that automate routine, time-consuming accounting tasks.

An Accelerating Movement Within the Profession

“We’re seeing the biggest opportunity in our accounting profession’s history” said Co-Founder Anderson Petergeorge “with 75% of the profession already at the age of retirement. All of their clients will require an accountant, and this doesn’t factor in all the new businesses that will need an accountant.

We built a platform that helps accounting firms acquire and onboard entire firms and their client bases smoothly, enabling them to more than double revenue without major staff increases. Our AI Agents then automate the work that slows accountants down, driving operating margins above 60%.”

The company credits its accounting firm customers, many of whom partnered with Quanto early, for shaping key product capabilities and validating the market need.

Building in San Francisco + and Hiring Now

As part of the a16z Speedrun program, the Quanto Team will be building in San Francisco and will continue publicly sharing learnings and insights from the journey.

For those interested in joining the team, the company is hiring founding software engineers and an Accountant Success Lead to accelerate product development and customer expansion.
