Quanta, a company building real-time, explainable financial infrastructure, announced the close of a $15 million Series A round led by Accel with participation from Operator Collective, Naval Ravikant, Designer Fund, Basecase, and operators including Akshay Kothari (Notion), Claire Hughes Johnson (Stripe), and Huey Lin (Affirm). The investment accelerates development of Quanta’s system of record for finance. The company also introduced Prism, the agentic reporting layer of the Quanta Platform and the first product to activate this foundation.
Quanta was created to solve long-standing pain points in financial operations: slow month-end closes, delayed visibility into basic metrics, and decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate dashboards. To address this, Quanta built its own ledger rather than relying on external systems. This architecture enables direct ingestion of financial data, continuous reconciliation, policy application, and automated execution of repetitive tasks, while an internal accounting team reviews exceptions to preserve human judgment. All activity is event-sourced, giving every number clear lineage and enabling what the company calls “explainable finance,” where the system that generates financial data can also justify it.
Recent advances in AI and large language models now make real-time reasoning over complex financial data possible with the precision expected by professionals. Prism brings this capability to life. As the reporting layer of the Quanta Platform, Prism provides a workspace where finance teams can explore live books, trace any figure back to its origin, and connect “what happened” with “why.” Users can ask questions such as “What’s our margin by product?” or “How did cloud spend evolve last quarter?” and receive sourced, auditable answers grounded in reconciled entries.
Prism is available today for companies using Quanta’s accounting services. Its accuracy is enabled by Quanta’s end-to-end handling of customers’ books, ensuring every transaction is reconciled, verified, and understood. This eliminates the long-standing divide between accounting and finance, allowing both functions to operate from a single, real-time source of truth.
As businesses face increasing volatility in the AI era, real-time finance has become essential. Quanta aims to make financial data as live and dependable as any other modern system. Prism serves as the first proof of this vision, and the new funding will support expansion of the platform, enhancement of accounting services, and continued advancement toward continuous, transparent, intelligent finance.
