Ghent-based AI startup Eagl has raised €825,000 in funding to expand its engineering team, scale across Europe, and further develop its AI-native financial operations platform. Founded in April 2025, Eagl aims to transform how in-house finance teams manage month-end close, audits, and reporting by eliminating repetitive manual tasks.
The funding round was led by Syndicate One and CNBB Equity Partners, with participation from several well-known SaaS founders. Backers include Matthias Geeroms (Lighthouse), Joris Van Der Gucht (Silverfin, Ravical), Jeroen De Wit (Teamleader), Lorenz Bogaert (Rydoo, StarApps), Louis Jonckheere (Showpad), Roeland Delrue (Aikido Security), as well as Jorn Vanysacker, Gilles Mattelin, and Wouter Van Respaille (Henchman).
Eagl’s platform integrates directly with ERP and accounting systems to automate accounting and controlling workflows, continuously monitor data quality, and resolve anomalies in real time. By ensuring accuracy and structured data, the system helps finance teams close faster, reduce errors, and shorten audit cycles.
“Most finance teams are stretched thin, fixing problems instead of adding real value. Eagl turns days of manual checking into instant insights, empowering finance leaders to focus on strategic topics while auditors get cleaner books,” said Samuel Van Innis, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.
“Beyond automating workflows, we continuously monitor data quality and resolve anomalies in real time. This means finance teams can close faster, scale efficiently, and cut down the time and stress of audits,” added Frederik Bakx, Co-founder and Chief Financial Officer.
Backers see Eagl as addressing a key bottleneck in financial operations. “Eagl is tackling one of the most frustrating bottlenecks in finance with technology that actually understands business context. That is why many people in the SaaS ecosystem believe Eagl will fundamentally change how finance teams operate,” said Matthias Geeroms, Founder and CFO of Belgian unicorn Lighthouse.
Finance leaders currently spend up to 70% of their time gathering, cleaning, and reconciling data rather than analysing it. By plugging directly into finance stacks, Eagl enables CFOs to ensure accuracy while generating real-time, context-rich reports.
