Zalos, a London- and San Francisco-based startup building AI agents for finance teams, has secured $3.6 million in seed funding led by Swiss venture firm 14Peaks Capital.
The round also included participation from Cohen Circle, 20VC, and several angel investors, including senior operators from fintech and enterprise finance.
Tackling Fragmented Finance Systems
Finance teams today operate across a patchwork of tools, including ERPs, CRMs, spreadsheets, email, and banking platforms that often lack seamless integration.
As a result, many processes still rely on manual work, with teams effectively acting as the bridge between disconnected systems to complete tasks such as billing, reporting, and financial close.
Zalos is focused on addressing this inefficiency without requiring companies to replace their existing infrastructure.

AI Agents Built For Finance Operations
The platform deploys AI agents that operate directly within existing systems, handling workflows in a way similar to human users.
These agents log into tools using standard credentials and execute tasks across multiple platforms, while maintaining current configurations and compliance requirements.
Designed specifically for finance use cases, the system supports complex operations such as reconciliations, reporting, and advanced spreadsheet tasks, ensuring accuracy in high-stakes environments.
Enhancing Productivity Without Replacing Systems
Rather than introducing new software layers, Zalos is built to sit on top of existing finance stacks, allowing companies to adopt AI without major system overhauls.
This approach enables faster implementation while preserving workflows already approved by finance leadership.
Funding To Expand Enterprise Capabilities
Founded by William Fairbairn and Hung Hoang, Zalos plans to use the new funding to further develop its technology and expand its customer base.
The company is also shifting its focus toward enterprise-grade ERP systems, aiming to support larger organisations with more complex financial operations.
