  "account": "Berlin's Integral accounting technology company has secured €18 million in Series A funding to enhance its AI-driven accounting, tax, and payroll solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. This investment, co-led by Mosaic Ventures and Reid Hoffman, follows participation from Cherry Ventures, General Catalyst, and Puzzle Ventures, bringing total funding to over €30 million. Founded in 2024 by Lukas Zörner and Anil Can Baykal, Integral aims to tackle labour shortages in Germany's accounting and tax sector through automation. Its AI-native approach combines AI agents with licensed professionals to deliver services directly to SMEs. Integral Tax, an affiliated audit and tax firm, handles repetitive tasks like reconciling invoices and preparing payroll runs, while licensed professionals review and sign off on results. Integral's AI agents now manage more than half of the bookkeeping processes for clients, cutting average turnaround times from weeks to hours. The company plans to use the Series A funding to expand its AI engineering, licensed professional, and commercial teams, as well as deepen automation across various workflows and develop proprietary compliance technology for regulated financial work.",
