About Vic.ai 

Vic.ai is creating the "Intelligent Accounting" era, using artificial intelligence to automate accounting and provide advisory, business insight, and eventually business foresight.

We're a Series A stage start-up, founded by Norwegian entrepreneurs and backed by renowned Silicon Valley investors (including Costanoa Ventures, Cowboy Ventures, and GGV Capital). We're US-based, but our team is global, from New Zealand to California. We're bringing AI to Finance and Accounting because the industry is ripe for automation and big-data insight and the market is huge: $200B just in the US.

We are the first company to develop a fully Autonomous Accounting solution for processing invoices, automating all required accounting tasks using AI, without human intervention. Our solution for this won the 2021 US Fintech Awards category for Accounting Tech of the Year.

We have a relaxed, professional culture, and most of our engineering team does asynchronous remote work on a permanent basis. We're a team of builders—when we aren't building Vic.ai, we're tinkering with a personal project, contributing to open source, modding a drone, building a computer from components, etc.
