Round two. It begins, the second article in our AccountingTech Europe series. This time we take a look at some of Europe’s top AccountingTechs. Hopefully it goes without saying that our list is in no particular order, after all, we wouldn’t dare to choose favorites. There are a lot of exciting startups disrupting the accounting space so by no means was it easy to compile this list. But the ten below deserve a shoutout for pushing AccountingTech Europe further.

AccountingTech; Europe’s Top 10

Qonto

The online business account for SMEs and freelancers. Okay, in all fairness they are more digital banking than AccountingTech but given their impressive suite of accounting products, we’ve included Qonto anyways. The Paris-based FinTech was founded in 2016 by Alexandre Prot and Steve Anavi. To date, the company has raised a total of $709 million in funding and is valued at a jaw-dropping $5 billion. Qonto is currently Series D funded and recently acquired German business banking rival Penta. The move sees the Paris outfit skyrocket itself towards its long-term goal of becoming the leading bank for SMEs and freelancers in Europe.

We have left the confines of Germany and France. Holvi is the first AccountingTech on the list that is not situated in one of the two countries. The Finnish FinTech was founded in 2011 by Kristoffer Lawson, Mikko Teerenhovi, Teemu Hukkanen and Tuomas Toivonen. The company offers an all-in-one account for self-employment; banking, invoicing, bookkeeping, and a business credit card in one. The Seed-funded startup has raised €4.3 million to date.

Now, it’s safe to say that we haven’t covered all the AccountingTechs in Europe with this list. However, it highlights those FinTechs that are leading the charge in the space. Given the funding that has gone into AccountingTech Europe in the first half of 2022, we look forward to seeing how the space continues to develop throughout the year and beyond.
