Built by someone who lived it
VendorKeep was built by a CFO who spent years chasing W-9s, stitching together tools, and scrambling every January. We built what we wished existed.
As a controller and then CFO, I spent years managing vendor compliance the way everyone does — with spreadsheets, email chains, and a collection of tools that didn't talk to each other.
Every January was the same fire drill. Chase down missing W-9s. Verify TINs on a separate platform. Scramble to file 1099s through yet another service. Hope nothing fell through the cracks.
The rest of the year wasn't much better. Contract renewals would sneak up on us. Onboarding a new vendor meant juggling three different systems. And every tool we tried only solved one piece of the puzzle.
VendorKeep exists because vendor compliance shouldn't be this hard.
We're building the platform I always wanted — one place for the full vendor lifecycle, with named agents that do the work and your favorite AI driving the workflow. Year-round compliance, not a seasonal scramble.
And we're building it for what comes next. Every CFO is asking how AI fits into their stack. Our answer is simple: vendor compliance lives in VendorKeep, with built-in watchers running underneath and your AI of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor — querying the same system of record. Whether your team accesses it through a dashboard, an inbox, or a chat window, the compliance is handled.
Built for AP, Compliance, and the CPAs managing both — at growing companies that need enterprise-grade compliance without the enterprise price tag or implementation timeline.
What we believe
Compliance is year-round
Filing season isn't a surprise. If you're tracking compliance throughout the year, January is just another month.
One system, not ten tools
Your team shouldn't need a separate tool for W-9s, TIN checks, e-signatures, contracts, and filing. That's how things fall through the cracks.
No black-box AI
Agents that act without showing their work don't belong in finance. Every action shows input → reasoning → output → approval. Always.
Built for the next decade
We're not bolting AI onto a 2020 product. VendorKeep is built so finance teams and the AI tools they'll work with next share the same system of record.
