FinQuery: $25 Million Closed To Enable Professionals To Optimize Decisions In Top Spending Areas

By Amit Chowdhry • May 1, 2024

FinQuery (formerly LeaseQuery), a provider of AI-powered solutions built to manage companies’ largest areas of spending efficiently, announced a $25 million minority investment led by Periphas Capital and supported by Lavelle Capital. This funding will accelerate product innovation and support strategic M&A.

FinQuery’s AI-driven SaaS platform links finance, accounting, and IT by managing their largest areas of contracted spend, including leases, software, subscriptions, and other financial contracts. The platform delivers insights into spending, software usage, cash flow forecasts, and renewals, empowering informed decision-making and simplifying accounting tasks like lease accounting, SBITA reporting, and accruals.

Launched in 2011 as LeaseQuery, FinQuery’s core goal was simplifying complex accounting and compliance tasks from ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87, and GASB 96. With a commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, FinQuery became the world’s leading lease accounting software provider, serving 8,000+ clients (including 600+ public companies), universities, and government entities. With three acquisitions, including Stackshine (a Y-combinator-backed SaaS spend management platform), FinQuery continues expanding its offerings beyond lease accounting.
