Gent, September 2025 – AI startup Eagl has raised €825,000 in funding to accelerate the development of its AI-native Financial Agentic Platform, expand its AI and engineering teams, and scale across Europe. The platform plugs into ERP and accounting systems, automating accounting and controlling workflows, continuously monitoring data quality, and resolving anomalies with business context. By ensuring accurate, structured financial data, Eagl helps finance teams reduce errors, speed up month-end closes, and shorten audit cycles; transforming one of the biggest pains for in-house finance teams into a streamlined, proactive process.

The funding round is led by Syndicate One and CNBB Equity Partners (Founder ExactOnline & Yuki) and backed by leading 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).
“Most finance teams are stretched thin, fixing problems instead of adding real value,” said Samuel Van Innis, co-founder and CEO of Eagl. “With Eagl, we turn days of manual checking into instant insights, empowering finance leaders to focus on strategic topics while auditors get cleaner books, faster.”
“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.”
