The funding round was co-led by Entourage and Fortino Ventures, with additional support from the founders of Aikido Security, Tally, and several partners from accounting firms.

“We have talked to more than 100 accountants. They are all asking the same question: what can we actually do with AI right now? Not someday. Now. That is why we built Dytto,” said Niels Van Driessche, co-founder & CEO of Dytto.

Dytto was founded in 2025 by Van Driessche and Jorne De Blaere with a mission to “free the accountant.” The company was built on the belief that using AI to automate repetitive administrative tasks would give accountants more time to focus on advising and supporting their clients.

“For many businesses, the accountant is their only financial adviser. That relationship is not going anywhere. The challenge is whether firms can free up enough of the day-to-day work to actually serve it well. Accountants do not need another expensive software sold on long-term promises. They have had a decade of those. They need AI that is simple to adopt, works inside their existing tools, and delivers value from day one,” added Van Driessche.

According to the company, this is exactly what Dytto was designed to achieve. The company says the platform does not require costly implementation processes or long-term lock-ins. It connects easily with client data, the firm’s internal knowledge, and the tools the firm already uses. Dytto works within daily workflows, supporting accountants from the inside. Importantly, no action is sent or executed without the accountant’s review and approval.

“Our AI assists, but humans decide. We designed Dytto so firms can embed their own expertise and ways of working. That is how they stay differentiated,” said Jorne De Blaere, co-founder and CTO of Dytto.

The newly raised funds will be used to further develop the product, expand into European markets, and grow the team across engineering, product, and customer success roles.

“Professional services is one of the largest sectors still waiting for AI to deliver real value. Dytto is tackling the adoption challenge by meeting accountants where they work, inside the tools they already use. We are excited to back Niels and Jorne as they build out the product and grow the team,” said Filip Van Innis, Managing Partner at Fortino Ventures.

Dytto is currently used by accounting firms in the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands, serving everyone from solo practitioners to larger multi-team organizations. The company says that early customers have reported saving up to one hour per team member each day.
