Ryan Sieve, CTONatively built on Salesforce, Accounting Seed delivers CRM and accounting in a single platform, offering real-time visibility across sales, finance and operations, from first interaction to final payment. For small and mid-sized businesses (SMB), this eliminates the inefficiencies of juggling disconnected tools and manual processes. The platform also automates key workflows—most notably through its AR and AP Automation features—and delivers deeper operational insights, helping teams allocate resources more effectively. That clarity empowers businesses to do more with less, scale without the usual pains and stay focused on what matters most: growth.
“One of our superpowers is just how flexible and adaptable our system is when it comes to the growing and changing needs of SMBs,” says Ryan Sieve, CTO.
Unlike traditional accounting systems that are often more rigid in nature, Accounting Seed evolves with its users, adapting seamlessly to changing needs without disrupting operations. Its flexibility goes beyond setup, letting teams tailor workflows, data fields and automation without rebuilding core processes. While most financial systems enforce fixed workflows, Accounting Seed allows teams to roll out new services, adjust billing models or reorganize teams, without manual workarounds or heavy development costs.
“Not all of us have unlimited resources,” Sieve adds. “We're helping put time back into their business where they can really focus on strategy, what's going to help them grow in the best way possible and take on new initiatives, new product lines, whatever that might be.”
Without Accounting Seed, businesses often stitch together disconnected systems—slowing progress when they need to accelerate. A single client engagement might pass through a CRM, a project tracking platform, a billing application and finally land in accounting software. Each step is siloed, with different customer records and no easy way to connect the dots. Teams lose time reconciling data, chasing payments and bridging systems instead of focusing on growth. For lean SMB teams, these inefficiencies can be growth blockers.
Accounting Seed offers a smarter path. With a shared customer record and financial data in one place, teams collaborate better, act faster and make confident decisions.
The story is just as compelling for Downtown Streets Team, Inc., a nonprofit dealing with disconnected systems and inefficient manual accounting. With Accounting Seed, the nonprofit automated much of its period-close process, saving approximately 48 hours of labor every month. The organization also uncovered $100,000 in previously unbilled expenses due to enhanced visibility and reporting accuracy. Even more impressive, these efficiencies were achieved without adding headcount, allowing their small finance team to do more with less.
Now, as AI reshapes the finance function, Accounting Seed is helping businesses stay ahead. In fact, the company recently released AI Invoice Capture, a new feature within its AP Automation offering that uses the latest AI and predictive technology to streamline invoice processing and reduce manual AP work.
Tapping into the Salesforce ecosystem, the platform uses connected data to fuel intelligent automation. With Salesforce’s AgentForce and proprietary AI tools, it helps clients streamline operations, plan with confidence and refine financial strategy.
"This AI-driven evolution is also elevating the role of the CFO,” Sieve notes. “And we look at our solution as a way to enable that role of the strategic CFO. No longer confined to retrospective analysis, today’s CFOs are expected to guide growth in real-time as data-driven advisors.”
Accounting Seed empowers this shift by putting timely, actionable insights at their fingertips, transforming CFOs into strategic advisors who inform high-level decisions across the business.
Accounting Seed is more than just accounting software built on Salesforce. With customer success at its heart, it helps SMBs automate smarter, adapt faster and lead with real-time financial clarity.
