LiveFlow Launches AI-Native ERP ‘Flow’ Built for Continuous Close Finance Operations

Finance teams at mid-market and multi-location companies often find themselves caught between two difficult options: remain on legacy accounting systems that struggle to scale, or undertake lengthy ERP implementations that disrupt operations just as complexity increases. As organizations expand across entities, locations, and revenue streams, the disconnect between financial systems and real-world operations has become increasingly visible.

Against this backdrop, LiveFlow has introduced Flow, a new AI-native ERP platform designed for established businesses managing complex financial structures. The solution aims to bring accounting, consolidation, and financial planning into a unified system built for real-time operations.

The company positions Flow as a system designed specifically for organizations operating across multiple entities and locations—particularly in sectors such as construction, real estate, healthcare, and food and beverage—where financial operations often involve intercompany transactions, inventory management, and distributed teams.

Bridging the Gap Between Accounting and FP&A

Traditionally, financial accounting and financial planning and analysis (FP&A) have operated in separate systems, requiring manual transfers of data and periodic reconciliation between platforms. According to LiveFlow, Flow addresses this divide by combining an AI-driven accounting ledger with native FP&A capabilities in a single environment.

The platform also includes built-in multi-entity consolidation, aiming to provide finance teams with a continuously updated view of financial performance across subsidiaries and locations.

“Finance teams are being asked to move faster and play a more strategic role, but the tools they’ve been given haven’t kept pace,” said Lasse Kalkar, CEO and co-founder of LiveFlow. “Flow is built for continuous close—where accounting, consolidation, and planning work together in real time, instead of as disconnected, manual processes.”

The concept of a “continuous close” reflects a broader shift in finance technology, as organizations move away from periodic reporting cycles toward systems capable of delivering near-real-time financial visibility.

Designed for Lean Finance Teams

LiveFlow says the new platform was shaped by years of working with finance teams managing multi-entity operations and distributed business models. The company’s founders previously worked on scaling financial systems at the fintech firm Revolut and later supported thousands of LiveFlow customers facing similar operational challenges.

Many mid-market companies rely on lean finance teams responsible for accounting, reporting, and strategic planning simultaneously. As organizations grow, these teams often rely on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual processes to reconcile data across multiple entities and systems.

Flow aims to reduce that operational friction by integrating transaction processing, consolidation, and forecasting within the same platform.

“Flow is about giving finance teams room to breathe,” said Anita Koimur, co-founder and COO of LiveFlow. “By removing the manual work that keeps teams looking backward, we’re helping them spend more time on strategy, growth, and the decisions that actually move the business forward.”

Real-Time Financial Visibility Across Entities

One of the central capabilities of the new platform is its real-time financial processing model. Flow is designed to ingest financial activity directly from operational tools already used by finance teams and feed that information into accounting and consolidation workflows without significant delays.

By reducing the lag between transactions and financial reporting, the system aims to help organizations accelerate close cycles, improve forecasting accuracy, and maintain visibility across complex multi-entity structures.

Early users highlight the platform’s ability to streamline intercompany accounting. According to LiveFlow, businesses operating across multiple entities can reduce large volumes of intercompany journal entries into simplified consolidated entries, potentially lowering administrative overhead.

A Growing Focus on AI-Native Finance Platforms

The launch of Flow reflects a broader industry trend toward AI-native financial platforms that combine automation, analytics, and operational accounting in a unified architecture. Rather than layering automation on top of legacy ERP infrastructure, newer platforms are being designed from the ground up around real-time data processing and AI-assisted workflows.

For organizations with distributed operations, inventory-driven business models, or multi-entity corporate structures, these systems aim to reduce the reliance on manual reconciliation and fragmented financial toolsets.

Flow is currently available to a limited group of early customers, with broader availability planned throughout 2026.

As finance teams increasingly take on strategic responsibilities—from forecasting and scenario planning to capital allocation—the evolution of ERP platforms toward integrated, real-time financial operations is likely to remain a key focus area across the enterprise software landscape.
