ABOUT US 

GFR is building the leading AI platform for accounting automation. Our mission is to help accounting firms and accounting professionals in large enterprises to be more productive. Our flagship product, GFR Accounting Autopilot, combines advanced mathematical models with a state-of-the-art infrastructure, equipped with proprietary AI/ML modules to help our clients grow their business despite a severe talent shortage and increasing legal complexity.
