Founder of Stride and the architect of its AI-native accounting engine — the trust layer that reasons over a company's existing systems and turns their scattered, fragmented data into numbers they can trust and defend.
Your data is a mess. Your numbers don't have to be.
Stride is an AI accounting engine that sits on top of the systems you already run — reasoning across your data, grounding every figure in the standards, and producing numbers you can trust and defend in an audit. We don't replace your stack. We make it trustworthy.
- 01
Works on top of what you already have.
Stride doesn't rip out your ERP or your systems. It works alongside the stack you already run — and makes sense of the mess you've got.
- 02
Scattered data in, trustworthy numbers out.
The engine reasons across your data, reconciles it against the accounting standards, and flags what doesn't tie — so the number you close on is one you can stand behind.
- 03
Every figure is traceable and audit-ready.
Each number traces back to the data it came from and the standard it's based on — a complete, reviewable trail your auditors can follow, with a qualified human reviewing and approving every entry.
- 04
You own the engine.
Stride runs on models you own — no per-transaction bill that grows with your volume.
Built for many entities. Bring subsidiaries and systems into one trustworthy set of numbers — without waiting on each one's close.

Design partners
We're partnering with a handful of finance teams.
Stride is early, and we're building it alongside a small group of design partners. If that's you, we'd like to talk.
You won't be first to trust it. We're building alongside seasoned finance leaders, and designed Stride to satisfy auditors from day one.
