A new wave of intelligent automation is coming to Spanish accounting desks led by Kabilio, the Barcelona-based startup that’s blending AI precision with practical workflow tools.
Backed by €4 million in fresh funding, the startup is introducing its AI assistant “Kabi” to help accounting professionals boost efficiency and focus on advisory work instead of routine data entry.
The pre-Seed round, led by Visionaries Club and Picus Capital with additional support from ENISA, marks one of the strongest early-stage investments in Spain’s fintech-AI sector this year. Founded in 2024 by José Ojeda and Álex Valls, Kabilio builds automation software that streamlines tax and accounting processes for firms and their SME clients.
Already adopted by nearly 100 accounting firms, Kabilio’s AI platform reportedly increases productivity by up to 50%. Its technology automates core back-office tasks through three main products:
-
AI-powered invoice processing – Automatically classifies invoices, handles complex VAT cases, and recommends accounting entries with 97% accuracy.
-
Bank reconciliation automation – Syncs securely with 99% of Spanish banks, linking payments and invoices to eliminate manual matching.
-
Smart invoicing for SMEs and freelancers – Provides a Verifactu-compliant tool that updates advisors in real time without additional paperwork.
Kabilio’s upcoming AI agent, Kabi, will let users interact with their accounting data in natural language: ask questions, retrieve insights, and eventually automate broader actions. The feature will debut at Accountex Spain 2025, positioning Kabilio as one of the first Spanish startups to bring conversational AI directly into professional accounting workflows.
With around 65,000 accounting and tax-advisory firms in Spain serving millions of small businesses, Kabilio is tackling one of the industry’s biggest bottlenecks: repetitive manual processes that slow down quarterly submissions and drain advisory capacity.
Armed with its new funding, the company plans to scale its AI solutions, expand across Europe, and continue shaping a future where accountants spend less time on data entry and more time delivering strategic value to clients.
