#60: Enterprise Accounting Software for Crypto & Fiat with Request Finance


Listen Later

A finance technology stack is the set of tools that a business uses to streamline and optimize its financial and accounting processes.

These tools and software typically fall into categories like payments, payroll, spend & expense management, accounting & reporting, financial planning, and analysis.

Until now, web3 teams have had a fragmented finance stack, thereby increasing the manual workload of running their finance and accounting processes.

Request Finance the web3 industry leader for invoicing, payroll & expenses, with a payment processing volume of more than $700m under its belt understood & capitalized on the pain points most web3 CFOs & accountants face.

Recently Request Finance acquired Consola Finance, a crypto sub ledger to offer an all-in-one finance stack for both crypto payments & accounting.

With more businesses adopting stablecoins as a means of payment, I spoke with Christophe Lassuyt, the CEO of Request Finance, and Christophe Fonteneau, their Head of Partnerships & Strategy.
