OpenCFO, a startup building an AI-driven financial operations platform, has raised $2 million in its first institutional funding round. The round was led by Endiya Partners, with participation from several angel investors from the United States and India.
Founded in December 2025, OpenCFO aims to create an AI-native financial operating system that helps mid-market companies automate and manage key finance workflows, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and treasury operations.
Solving Finance Complexity for Growing Companies
Finance teams in growing businesses often rely on multiple disconnected systems such as ERP platforms, banking portals, spreadsheets, and single-purpose software tools. As companies expand across geographies and entities, managing financial operations becomes more complex, involving multiple currencies, bank accounts, and vendor networks.
OpenCFO aims to address this challenge by building a unified platform powered by AI agents that can automate financial workflows and integrate various financial systems into a single execution layer.
According to Prudhvi Rao Shedimbi, Co-founder and CEO of OpenCFO, the company is not simply building another finance dashboard.
He said the goal is to create an AI-native platform that connects fragmented financial systems and allows CFOs to manage global operations more efficiently and with greater accuracy.
AI Agents Managing Financial Workflows
The platform brings together the three core pillars of financial operations, payables, receivables and treasury, allowing AI agents to coordinate workflows across the entire financial cycle.
For example, data from receivables can automatically update treasury forecasts, while payables activity can inform cash flow planning. This provides finance teams with real-time visibility into liquidity across accounts, currencies and entities.
The platform also integrates banking systems, ERP tools and payment infrastructure, while keeping human approvals, compliance rules and audit trails in place.
Early Results Show Efficiency Gains
In early deployments, OpenCFO says it has already demonstrated improvements in operational efficiency.
Invoice processing workflows that usually take several days can be automated end-to-end. The company has also focused on improving cross-border treasury and payment processes, an area where many companies face high costs and delays.
Mid-market companies often pay 2% to 4% in foreign exchange fees and rely on slow international payment systems. OpenCFO integrates multi-currency accounts and global payment rails, allowing payments to be routed more efficiently through both traditional and digital financial networks.
Early pilot programs suggest the platform could deliver over 50% cost savings on cross-border transactions, while enabling faster settlement and reconciliation.
Founders and Expansion Plans
The company was founded by Prudhvi Rao Shedimbi and Sankalp Singayapally. The founding team brings engineering experience from companies such as CrowdStrike, Confluent and Bloomberg.
With the new funding, OpenCFO plans to expand its engineering teams in both India and the United States, hire senior leaders with treasury deployment expertise, and accelerate the development of automation agents for accounts payable and receivable.
The company also plans to grow its customer base in major cross-border business corridors including the United States–India, United Kingdom, European Union, and Canada.
OpenCFO expects to launch its full agentic financial operations platform by mid-2026.
Investor Confidence
Commenting on the investment, Sateesh Andra, Managing Partner at Endiya Partners, said that mid-market companies operating globally often lack the right financial infrastructure.
He noted that while consumer payment tools do not support their operational complexity, enterprise treasury platforms are usually designed for much larger organisations. OpenCFO, he said, is specifically built to serve this underserved segment.
Endiya Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm focused on enterprise, industrial technology and healthcare startups, will also support OpenCFO with talent hiring, customer development and strategic partnerships as it scales.
