Eagl raises €825K to automate month-end close with AI agents for inhouse finance teams
Eagl, a Belgian AI startup, has secured €825,000 in funding to expand its engineering team, scale across Europe, and accelerate development of its AI-native platform for finance teams. The product connects directly to ERP and accounting systems to automate accounting and controlling workflows, continuously monitor data quality, and resolve anomalies with business context. By ensuring clean, structured financial data, Eagl aims to help finance teams reduce errors, close the books faster, and shorten audit cycles while giving CFOs real-time insights.
Funding and backers
The round is led by Syndicate One and CNBB Equity Partners (ExactOnline, Yuki), with participation from prominent SaaS founders, including Matthias Geeroms (Lighthouse), Joris Van Der Gucht (Silverfin, Ravical), Jeroen De Wit (Teamleader), Lorenz Bogaert (Rydoo, StarApps), Louis Jonckheere (Showpad), Roeland Delrue (Aikido Security), and Jorn Vanysacker, Gilles Mattelin, and Wouter Van Respaille (Henchman).
How the platform works
Eagl’s platform plugs into a company’s finance stack to bring automation and intelligence to everyday workflows. It continuously checks data quality, detects and explains anomalies, and applies business context to resolve issues at the source. The result is accurate, structured data that flows through the month-end close, reporting, and audit processes without the usual back-and-forth. Finance teams can move faster with fewer manual checks, and auditors receive cleaner books from the outset.
Why it matters for finance teams
Finance leaders often spend up to 70% of their time gathering, cleaning, and reconciling data instead of analyzing it and advising the business. While legacy tools have improved task tracking, they frequently leave teams buried in manual work. Eagl is built as an AI-native platform from the ground up, designed to inject context and intelligence into every accounting and controlling workflow. By connecting directly to ERP and accounting systems, it helps ensure the accuracy of the books and produces reports enriched with business context.
What stakeholders are saying
“Most finance teams are stretched thin, fixing problems instead of adding real value,” said Samuel Van Innis, Eagl co-founder and CEO. “Eagl turns days of manual checking into instant insights, empowering finance leaders to focus on strategic topics while auditors get cleaner books.”
“Beyond automating workflows, we continuously monitor data quality and resolve anomalies in real time,” added Frederik Bakx, co-founder and CFO. “This means finance teams can close faster, scale efficiently, and cut down the time and stress of audits.”
“Eagl is tackling one of the most frustrating bottlenecks in finance with technology that actually understands business context,” said Matthias Geeroms, founder and CFO of Belgian unicorn Lighthouse. “That’s why many people in the SaaS ecosystem believe Eagl will fundamentally change how finance teams operate.”
What’s next
With the new capital, Eagl plans to grow its engineering capabilities, broaden its European footprint, and accelerate product development. The company’s roadmap focuses on advancing its AI agents to further automate month-end close, reinforce data quality controls, and deliver real-time, trusted insights to finance teams and CFOs.
