01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Finmark was a Raleigh, North Carolina-based financial planning software startup founded in 2020 by CEO Rami Essaid (formerly known as Inner Circle Labs). Its strategic finance platform helped small and mid-sized companies automate reporting, build financial forecasts from integrated data, and analyze their businesses holistically — budgeting, revenue forecasting, scenario planning, and hiring-plan forecasting — with dashboards and cash-flow insights; accounting firms also used it for client advisory. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and Techstars, it raised $5.13 million. On November 16, 2022, BILL (NYSE: BILL) completed its acquisition of Finmark to add planning and cash-flow analytics to its SMB financial operations platform.
