Ghent startup Dytto closes €1.5 million pre-seed round
Ghent-based startup Dytto has raised a €1.5 million pre-seed round to advance its mission of “freeing the accountant” through AI automation. The company is developing an intelligent workflow platform designed to take over repetitive, manual tasks that dominate day-to-day work in accounting and finance departments.
Using AI to remove repetitive accounting work
Dytto is building an orchestration layer that connects with existing ERP systems, accounting software and financial data sources. By combining AI models with rules-based workflows, the platform can automatically process documents, pre-code transactions, flag anomalies and prepare reconciliations that would normally require hours of human effort.
The startup positions its technology as a co-pilot for finance teams rather than a replacement. Routine tasks are handled by AI workflows, while complex judgments and strategic decisions remain in the hands of human professionals. This, the company argues, allows accountants to focus on advisory work, scenario planning and real-time business insights.
Addressing a global talent and efficiency gap
The funding comes at a time when firms across Europe are struggling with a shortage of qualified accountants and rising expectations for always-on financial reporting. By automating low-value work, Dytto aims to help accounting firms and in-house finance teams cope with growing workloads without a proportional increase in headcount.
Investors backing the round are betting that AI-driven finance automation will become a core infrastructure layer for modern businesses. As regulations tighten and data volumes grow, tools that can reliably structure, interpret and route financial information are expected to see strong demand.
Next steps for Dytto’s product and expansion
With the new capital, Dytto plans to expand its engineering team, deepen integrations with leading accounting platforms and accelerate pilots with early enterprise customers. The Ghent startup is also expected to invest in security and compliance features to meet stringent requirements in the financial services sector.
As automation reshapes the finance back office, Dytto aims to become a key partner for firms seeking to modernize their operations while keeping human expertise at the center of decision-making.
