About Stacks

At Stacks were transforming the way finance teams approach one of their most critical processes: the monthly close.

Our vision is bold. With the power of AI were reimagining the monthly close to be as simple as a single clickproviding the most accurate detailed financial insights on day one of each month. By giving finance teams their time back we enable them to focus on high-impact strategic work that drives their companies forward.

Our team is a blend of finance product and technical experts from top-tier companies like Uber Plaid Miro Mollie and Bunq united by the drive to create a game-changing solution. Based in the heart of Amsterdam our office offers inspiring views over the iconic canals. Backed by leading VCs and executives from Stripe Plaid and OpenAI were ready to reshape the future of finance.
