Barcelona-based Kabilio secures €4M from Visionaries Club and Picus Capital to automate and modernize accountant–client collaboration with generative AI.
A Major Boost for AI in Accounting
Barcelona-based Kabilio has raised €4 million in a pre-seed round led by Visionaries Club and Picus Capital, with an additional €200,000 in public funding from ENISA. This marks one of Spain’s largest pre-seed financings, and it positions Kabilio as a pioneer in AI-driven accounting automation.
Founded in 2024 by Jose Ojeda and Álex Valls, Kabilio is reshaping how accounting advisors and clients collaborate — using generative AI to eliminate inefficiencies that slow down one of the most traditional industries in Europe.
The Pain Point: Manual Work and Late Data
Spain has over 65,000 accounting and tax advisory firms serving millions of SMEs and self-employed professionals. Yet, most still rely on manual data collection and delayed document submission, especially during quarterly tax periods.
These bottlenecks often lead to:
- Missed deadlines and compliance risks
- Overworked teams during peak times
- Difficulty attracting and retaining skilled accountants
Kabilio’s platform solves this by automating the information flow between advisors and their clients, drastically reducing manual effort while maintaining full data integrity.
Kabilio’s AI Platform: Three Tools for Smarter Accounting
Kabilio integrates directly with existing accounting software and introduces three powerful AI tools:
- Intelligent Invoice Processing – Handles complex multi-channel inputs and suggests accounts automatically, achieving up to 97% accuracy.
- Advanced Bank Reconciliation – Secure connections to 99% of Spanish banks, automatic transaction matching, and a unified workspace for review.
- Verifactu-Compliant Invoicing – Enables SMEs and freelancers to synchronize invoices with advisors in real time, ensuring full compliance.
The result? Up to 50% productivity gains for accounting firms already using the platform.
“We built Kabilio to help firms reduce workload peaks and focus on providing real value to clients. This funding gives us the push to make that vision a reality,” said Jose Ojeda, Co-CEO and Co-founder of Kabilio.
Changing the Future of Advisory Work
According to Álex Valls, Co-CEO of Kabilio, the company’s mission goes far beyond automation:
“We are experiencing a turning point similar to when software first arrived in companies two decades ago. AI will not only optimize processes but also redefine how advisors and clients work together.”
Kabilio sees AI as the foundation for a new collaborative infrastructure between accountants and their clients — one where time-consuming data entry is replaced by strategic insight and advisory value.
Backed by Leading European Investors
The round led by Visionaries Club (Berlin) and Picus Capital (Munich) underscores growing investor confidence in AI for professional services. Both VCs have backed numerous European SaaS and fintech disruptors, and now see Kabilio as a front-runner in AI for accounting.
The startup plans to use the new capital to:
- Expand its team with top tech and finance talent
- Enhance its product offering with new AI-driven features
- Scale across Spain, preparing for future expansion into other European markets
The AI Shift in Accounting
Generative AI is driving a fundamental change in the accounting sector, moving professionals away from repetitive tasks toward strategic collaboration and financial insight.
Kabilio’s platform bridges that gap — making AI approachable for firms hesitant to adopt automation. By simplifying workflows and ensuring accuracy, the startup is unlocking new productivity levels for an industry ready for disruption.
A Step Toward the Future of Financial Collaboration
With this €4M round, Kabilio positions itself at the forefront of AI-powered accounting collaboration in Europe. Its mission: to give every advisor and SME the tools to work faster, smarter, and with greater trust.
“AI won’t replace accountants,” says Ojeda. “It will empower them to do the work they were truly trained for.”
