GHENT, Belgium — September 18, 2025 — AI startup Eagl has secured €825,000 in funding to expand its engineering capabilities, scale across Europe, and accelerate development of its AI-native financial operations platform.
Eagl automates accounting and controlling workflows by integrating directly with ERP and accounting systems. The platform continuously monitors data quality, resolves anomalies with business context, and generates reports enriched with operational insights. By ensuring accurate, structured financial data, Eagl helps finance teams reduce errors, speed up month-end closes, and shorten audit cycles.
The Problem
Finance leaders currently dedicate approximately 70% of their time gathering, cleaning, and reconciling data rather than analyzing it. Despite having access to powerful ERP systems, most finance teams still rely on manual reconciliations, spreadsheet-based checklists, and time-consuming validation processes during the month-end close.
The result is a slow, error-prone close cycle that delays strategic decisions and drains the capacity of already stretched finance teams.
The Solution
Eagl’s platform plugs into your existing ERP and accounting systems, adding an intelligent control layer that:
- Automates reconciliation — matching transactions across bank statements, subledgers, and the general ledger automatically
- Detects anomalies in real time — scanning every posting against pre-built and custom rules, flagging misclassifications, timing errors, and missing entries
- Learns from your team — building a dynamic knowledge base from every correction, explanation, and decision
- Provides a unified audit trail — storing all communication, documents, and close steps centrally for complete traceability
Most finance teams are stretched thin, fixing problems instead of adding real value. With Eagl, we turn days of manual checking into instant insights, empowering finance leaders to focus on strategic topics. Samuel Van Innis, Co-founder & CEO
