“Can AI agents run the accounting close on top of legacy ERPs and displace the FP&A/close-tooling stack without forcing a re-platform?”
Nominal was founded by veterans of Cognigo, a data-security startup acquired by NetApp in 2019. The company positions itself as 'Agentic Performance Management' — AI agents that run finance workflows (close, reconciliation, consolidation, flux analysis, intercompany) on top of existing ERPs (Workday, NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics 365) rather than replacing them. Not a fintech itself; a horizontal accounting-automation SaaS targeting mid-market and pre-IPO finance teams.
