€18m · Series A · Fintech · Berlin, Germany
Berlin-based Integral, which combines AI agents with licensed professionals to deliver accounting, tax and payroll services to SMEs, has raised €18m in Series A funding. The company said Mosaic Ventures and Reid Hoffman co-led the round, with Cherry Ventures, General Catalyst and Puzzle Ventures participating. The capital will deepen workflow automation and support hiring across engineering, professional services and commercial teams.
Automation meets professional accountability
Small businesses rarely buy accounting software for its own sake; they buy confidence that filings, payroll and tax work will be completed correctly. Integral's model keeps licensed professionals inside the service while AI agents handle repeatable workflows. That combination can shorten turnaround times without asking customers to assemble software, advisers and process controls themselves.
The commercial question is whether automation improves service economics while preserving responsibility for the output. More efficient data collection and routine processing can let professionals oversee a larger client base, but exceptions still require judgement. Integral can therefore benefit if its software makes expert capacity stretch further and creates a consistent operating layer across accounting, tax and payroll rather than a collection of separate tools.
