Sumary, a startup applying artificial intelligence to accounting, has raised $25m in a seed round.

A seed cheque of that size is large by the usual standards of early-stage funding, and it places the company among the better-funded newcomers in a growing field: software that automates the routine work of bookkeeping and accounting.

Why it matters

Accounting is a text-heavy, rules-based discipline, which makes it a natural target for AI tools. Investors have been backing young companies that promise to take over repetitive tasks and free up finance teams and accounting firms. Sumary's round suggests that appetite has not cooled.

Details on the investors, the product and the company's plans for the money were not available at the time of writing. As a seed-stage company, Sumary will now be expected to turn the capital into a working product and paying customers.
