The story

Finzu Ltd is a 2026 UK startup building an AI-native general-ledger accounting platform positioned as a replacement for Xero and QuickBooks rather than a bolt-on. Led by founder Anne Allibone (25+ years in finance), the product emphasises a 'no month-end' architecture with auto-traceable AI agents that propose entries and require human approval. Currently in beta/early access with waitlist pricing.
