Company research
Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Overview
Payflow.ai is the New York-based AI FP&A / strategic finance company behind Luca, a finance copilot that works in spreadsheets and connects ERP, CRM, HRIS, and other systems. Public sources conflict on the founding year and corporate history (YC/legal history point to 2019 and a MyToolbox Technologies d/b/a relationship, while LinkedIn shows 2024); Wilfried Eyi publicly left in Feb. 2026, so the current CEO is not clearly disclosed in public sources.

Work & culture
Public hiring signals emphasize high ownership, solving hard problems, shipping fast, and building directly with customers; company posts also suggest a hands-on, iterative product culture with frequent launches and customer feedback loops.
Compensation
Public job-posting signals are noisy, but one listing shows an AI Engineer at roughly $150k-$200k/year and stock options; another aggregator shows a much lower inconsistent figure, so compensation is best treated as only partially disclosed publicly.
Benefits
