825,000 euros for Eagl

The Belgian startup Eagl has closed a financing round of 825,000 euros. The company intends to use the capital to expand its engineering team, drive international expansion and accelerate the further development of its AI-native platform for finance teams.

Automation of the month-end closing process

The solution developed by Eagl integrates directly into ERP and accounting systems. It automates central processes in accounting and controlling, continuously monitors data quality and resolves anomalies in the business context. The aim is to drastically reduce manual reconciliation work, speed up monthly closings and shorten audit cycles.

Relief for CFOs and finance departments

Many finance teams are busy fixing problems instead of adding real value.

According to Van Innis, Eagle wants to enable these teams to shift their focus from manual control tasks to strategic issues. CFOs thus gain sound, real-time insights, while auditors benefit from better structured data. Co-founder and CFO Frederik Bakx adds: "By continuously monitoring data quality, anomalies can be resolved in real time. This shortens financial statements, reduces stress during audit phases and creates efficiency in scaling."

Investors from the SaaS scene

The round is led by Syndicate One and CNBB Equity Partners, who are invested in ExactOnline and Yuki, among others. In addition, numerous well-known SaaS founders participated, including Matthias Geeroms (Lighthouse), Joris Van Der Gucht (Silverfin, Ravical), Louis Jonckheere (Showpad) and members of the Henchman team.

Eagl addresses one of the biggest bottlenecks in finance - with technology that understands business context. This has the potential to fundamentally change the way finance departments work.

Outlook

Eagl was founded in April 2025 by Samuel Van Innis, Benoit Baervoets, Brecht Carnewal and Frederik Bakx. The founders bring experience from companies such as Henchman, Rydoo and Lighthouse. The startup plans to use the fresh capital to establish its platform across Europe and support finance departments in automating the month-end closing process. Eagl is thus positioning itself in a growing market for AI-supported financial software, which is increasingly replacing traditional tools for process documentation and tracking.

With its approach, Eagl is hitting a real pain point for many companies: Accounting, monthly closings and the entire bureaucratic overhead cost time, nerves and resources. We at Stgartbase expressly welcome anything that makes this process more efficient and less stressful! Ultimately, founders want to focus their energy on growth, innovation and customers, not on paperwork! Nevertheless, it remains to be seen how Eagl will fare in its battle with German bureaucracy.
