vs. QuickBooks + Excel
QuickBooks records transactions. The close logic lives somewhere else.
Off-ledger logic you're probably maintaining:
- Prepaid amortization schedules
- Accrual tracking and reversal dates
- Expense allocations by department
- Brex/Expensify import templates
- The close checklist itself
Granite moves that logic into the ledger.
Keep QuickBooks for recording transactions. Or import your history and use Granite as your single source of truth.
vs. Campfire / Rillet
Strong products. Designed for larger finance teams.
Campfire and Rillet target Series C+ companies with dedicated accounting staff and $15k+/year software budgets. They solve multi-entity consolidation and complex revenue recognition.
Granite is for the controller at a Series A who owns the close end-to-end. Setup takes an afternoon, not a quarter.
“I evaluated Campfire but couldn't justify the cost at our stage. Granite does what I needed at a fraction of the price.”
