What an AI-Native General Ledger Means for FP&A: John Glasgow


Listen Later

John Glasgow, is the founder, CEO and CFO of Campfire AI native ERP with more than $100m in funding, built to help high growth companies close faster, get richer visibility from their accounting data, and scale. John brings his insights as an operator who has spent time in FP&A and strategic finance, including at Adobe and an executive at Invoice To Go, leading that finance company to a $625 million sale to bill.com. Campfire came out of firsthand frustration with legacy ERPs and a need to rebuild the general ledger for the AI era.

In this episode:

  • My years in FP&A and strategic finance at Adobe before becoming a founder 
  • CFA Certification 
  • Invoice to Go acquisition what I learned  
  • The frustration and origin story of frustration and why Campfire was set up
  • Why building our own AI model makes sense 
  • Key quote: “If you slap AI on top of an ERP with summarized revenue data, then you’re essentially gonna get no insights that are of any value.”
