It is time for a new way of doing finance. From reactive to proactive, fast, accurately, and with confidence.
FREDERIK BAKX - CFO EAGL
We’re building the new operating system for finance teams, intelligent, context-aware systems that automate the manual work and learn from every interaction. Our mission is simple: help finance teams of mid- market companies turn into strategic functions. Because when finance operates at its best, it doesn’t just report on performance, it drives it.
Having worked with over 50 companies to structure and scale their finance organizations, I’ve seen one thing repeatedly: the finance function is fundamentally broken.
Most teams are working relentlessly just to get the numbers right each month. By the time the books are closed, there’s barely a day or two left to analyze what those numbers actually mean. CFOs are often flying blind, or even in a slightly adjusted direction, making decisions on partial or inaccurate information, just because of the workload of manual repetitive work and disconnected systems.
That uncertainty drives endless manual reconciliations, explanations, and late-night Slack threads. Every month becomes a repeat of the last: finding out why something doesn’t tie, fixing it under pressure, summarizing results quickly, and hoping nothing critical was missed.
This constant firefighting doesn’t just waste time, it undermines confidence. Finance professionals spend most of their energy catching up with the past instead of steering the business toward the future. It’s time for that to change.
Imagine a finance team where repetitive checks and actions are done once, and captured in the following month. The next time you review a GL account, the system already knows what to do. It suggests the appropriate action, the right adjustment, the expected pattern.
Now, imagine not having to dig through spreadsheets, past close notes, or old Slack messages to understand what happened last month. Instead, your system - one that knows what information it needs, can fetch it, analyze it, and even propose the correct entries - presents the insight proactively. Ready to assign to your team, or even perform the action itself.
That’s not science fiction. It’s the natural evolution of finance. Systems that learn from every interaction, capture your reasoning, and apply it automatically the next time the same issue occurs. Freeing up time from the finance team to focus on what matters, strategy. And in the process, improving accuracy that leads to better results.
Change is hard, and processes aren’t rebuilt overnight. Implementing new ways of working takes time, commitment, and the willingness of every stakeholder to move away from “how we’ve always done it.”
That’s why we believe in continuous evolution. One process, one workflow at a time, each improved by learning from every action taken along the way. That’s why we’re building a solution that blends into current processes, and helps to improve them quietly.
By approaching finance processes with an open mindset and a thoughtful way to capture and apply learnings, we can begin to build systems that truly understand business context. Every click, comment, and correction contributes to a growing base of organizational cognition, enabling finance teams with a new way of working. This shift moves teams from reactive bookkeeping to proactive control, from fixing what happened to shaping what comes next.
At the end of the day, finance exists to steer the business toward sustainable growth.
The CFO’s mandate is clear: drive growth while mitigating risk. That requires trust. Trust in the numbers, in the process, and in the systems that underpin decisions. Confidently managed by the team. Without that trust, everything else slows down.
With it, finance becomes what it was always meant to be: the strategic engine of the business.
At EAGL, we go all-in to supercharge finance teams around the world. The mission is simple: everyone deserves the best accounting & controlling colleagues. Free finance teams from manual, repetitive work and equip them with actionable insights - fast, accurate and with confidence.
