Engyon, the Dutch pioneer in audit automation software, has successfully raised €1 million in a seed funding round led by the Graduate Entrepreneur Fund.

The company supports auditors in conducting audits and assurance tasks for sustainability reports (CSRD) with a next-generation software platform. Engyon users experience significant productivity gains and a reduction in audit and compliance risks.

The company was founded by Berend Berendsen (CTO), Gerben Bas (Head of Engineering), and Joachim Arts (CEO). The SaaS platform currently automates repetitive tasks, enabling auditors to focus on more strategic conversations with clients about achieving their sustainability goals. Over time, the software will assist auditors with risk assessments, automated checks, data analysis, and detecting fraud and errors.

In 2024, Engyon advanced its CSRD audit product from concept to beta and validated the market in collaboration with five accounting firms.

As of early January 2025, the Early Access program has launched, with around 15 accounting firms testing the tool in practice. This closed program will run until July 2025, after which the software will be rolled out more broadly in the Netherlands and other EU countries to meet the growing demand for CSRD audit automation and case management software.

By the end of 2025, Engyon aims to offer its software in other European countries. The company strives to provide an integrated solution to support all auditing activities, including both financial and sustainability reporting.

The funds raised will be used to drive international growth and strengthen the R&D team.

Joachim Arts, CEO of Engyon said, “There are fewer auditors available in the market, and the current tools don’t really help them do more with fewer resources,” “With Engyon, we aim to provide our clients with the right tools to work more efficiently and cost-effectively. Perhaps the work will even become more enjoyable; with the help of AI and language models, much of the ‘boring’ work can simply be automated.”

Rui Li, an investor at Graduate Entrepreneur Fund said, “Over the coming years, auditors face an immense challenge as the demand for their services will be greater than ever, Engyon combines deep market knowledge with extensive technological expertise to address this challenge. We strongly believe in Engyon’s vision to make CSRD audits more efficient and effective, and we are proud to support their growth.”
