# End Close > End Close is payment reconciliation automated end to end for high-volume payments companies. It automatically matches transactions across payment processors, bank accounts, ledgers, and data warehouses, surfaces exceptions, and uses AI agents to investigate and resolve them so finance teams get numbers they can trust without a manual month-end scramble. End Close connects to payment processors (like Stripe), accounting systems (like Xero), data warehouses (like Snowflake and BigQuery), Google Sheets, CSV, and SFTP, then continuously reconciles transactions with rules-based matching that reaches 99.999% automation. What the rules can't match becomes an exception with full context, and AI agents propose or execute the resolution. The product is aimed at finance and engineering teams at payments-heavy businesses that would otherwise build reconciliation in-house or reconcile large volumes by hand. ## Company - Legal name: End Close, Inc. - Founded: early 2026, San Francisco, California - Founders: Sean Bolton (CEO) and David Newell (CTO) - Accelerator: Y Combinator, Winter 2026 batch (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/end-close) - Investors: Y Combinator, Foundation Capital, Liquid 2 Ventures, Sunflower Capital - Sean Bolton was the third hire at Modern Treasury, where he spent six years as tech lead of payments engineering before building and running the reconciliation org, scaling it to $350B in annual payments volume and $1T in annual reconciliation volume at 99.995% automation. - David Newell led the error tracking product at PostHog, previously founded Unflow (YC S19), and worked as a product engineer at Intercom and Basecamp. - Full story: https://www.endclose.com/about-us ## Customers - Sunbound uses End Close to reconcile large batched payments against individual transactions, replacing a manual process for its finance team and its customers.
