Berlin, Berlin, Germany
I've spent 10 years watching finance teams do the same work manually: Open invoice, check supplier, match PO, route for approval, book, archive, repeat. Every day, thousands of times. We built Candis to automate this - invoice processing and pre-accounting for 10,000+ companies across Europe. That taught me everything about what finance teams actually need vs. what software vendors think they need. Now we're in a different chapter. Agentic AI changes the equation completely. Not "AI-assisted" workflows where a human still clicks approve. Actual agents that read, decide, book, and follow up, without someone babysitting every step. I believe this will do to accounting what spreadsheets did to paper ledgers. Most CFOs I talk to are skeptical. I get it. I was skeptical too, until we built it. What I write about: - Agentic AI in finance and what it actually means for accounting teams - Building B2B SaaS in Germany for 10 years (what nobody tells you) - The real side of founding: what was hard, what failed, what I'd do differently If you're a CFO, finance lead, or building something in the AI x Accounting space, let's connect.
Candis automates financial processes for mid-market companies and junior enterprises with machine learning. The SaaS software automatically collects invoices from various sources, extracts invoice data, identifies overdue invoices, assigns these to appropriate cost centres and enables approvals via mobile devices. Backed by top-class investors such as Lightspeed Venture Partners, Pointnine, Speedinvest, Fly Ventures and Commerzbank, we’re well on our way to becoming Europe's go-to-solution for automated accounting workflows.
