Accounting is a 2,000-year-old business still running on Excel. Peregrine is the firm that rebuilds it: AI agents at every layer of finance, senior CPAs accountable for every output, and a roadmap to roll up established firms onto the same operating system.
Accounting firms are still organized like 1995: one partner, three associates, monthly closes, hourly billing. Meanwhile every other corner of the operations stack (sales, support, design, engineering) has been rewritten by software. We think the next great accounting firm is the one that finally bridges the gap.
Peregrine's bet is that AI agents now handle the mechanical work of accounting (categorization, reconciliation, anomaly detection, draft outputs) well enough that a senior CPA's time should be spent only on judgement, sign-off, and client conversation. That ratio inverts the economics of a traditional firm: one senior partner can serve five times the clients without lowering the quality bar.
Phase one, already underway, is building Peregrine as an agent-first finance team for founders, agencies, and growing companies. Prove the model. Hit the operating metrics. Earn the right to call ourselves a real firm.
Phase two is the rollup: acquire established accounting practices across North America and re-tool them on the Peregrine operating system. The senior partners stay; their work changes. Junior workflows shift to agents. Clients of acquired firms keep their relationship and gain Peregrine's tooling. The result is a network of firms running the same agentic playbook, each one materially faster, cheaper, and more accurate than the in-house equivalent.
Every output that leaves Peregrine has been through a senior CPA. We use AI to do the mechanical parts faster than humans can. And we use humans for everything that requires judgement, accountability, or a name on the line.
In practice: agents reconcile your transactions the day they land, draft the close package, surface anomalies, and write the source links into every answer. A senior operator reviews, asks the questions a junior wouldn't, and signs off. You see the agents in Slack; you see the humans on the calls.
