The story

Cadel.ai is a 2024-founded AI-native accounting automation startup operated by Uttara Labs (India Private Limited + Uttara Labs, Inc. in the US). Backed by South Park Commons, the company positions itself as an 'AI-native CFO stack' — AI agents that run AP, AR, reconciliation, revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842/IFRS 16), indirect tax, KYC/AML, and financial due diligence, integrating with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks and other ERPs. It is explicitly positioned as a Bill.com alternative.
