Ghent-based Dytto raises €1.5 million pre-Seed to “free the accountant” using AI
Ghent-based Dytto has secured €1.5 million in pre-Seed funding to advance its AI-powered assistant for accounting and bookkeeping firms. This investment, co-led by Entourage and Fortino Ventures, signals growing confidence in AI's immediate practical application within professional services. Dytto's mission is to automate administrative burdens, enabling accountants to dedicate more time to client advisory roles. The AI assistant integrates with existing accounting tools and client data, facilitating daily operations without expensive implementations or vendor lock-in. Crucially, Dytto's design ensures that AI assists rather than dictates, with all actions requiring accountant approval, thereby preserving firm-specific expertise and differentiation. Early adopters in the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands report significant time savings, with individual team members saving up to an hour daily. This funding will fuel Dytto's product development, bolster its European expansion efforts, and support team growth across engineering, product, and customer success departments. The investment highlights a broader trend of AI adoption in sectors previously slower to embrace digital transformation, emphasizing the demand for practical, value-generating solutions available now, not in the distant future.
