The company set out the case in an announcement covered by [Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261105511471/en/) on November 5, 2026.\n\n## How DualEntry's Agents as a Service Model Works\n\nDualEntry, the agentic ERP, describes Agents as a Service (AaaS) as a challenge to the per-seat pricing model that has defined much of enterprise software for the past two decades. Traditional ERP systems provide the tools finance teams use to perform accounting work; AI agents can take on tasks such as processing invoices, reconciling transactions, investigating discrepancies, and preparing journal entries for approval.\n\n\"SaaS was only ever competing for the software budget. Agents compete for the labor budget,\" said Benedict Dohmen, co-founder of DualEntry.\n\nThe company points to customer support, where companies such as Intercom offer outcome-based pricing for AI agents alongside traditional software subscriptions, as an early example of the transition. DualEntry sees a similar opportunity in finance, where businesses spend heavily on both ERP systems and the people required to operate them.\n\nDualEntry's approach places agents within the ERP's financial architecture, allowing them to prepare accounting work while humans retain responsibility for approval and judgment. The company said approvals, period locks, and audit trails must remain enforceable regardless of whether an action originates from an employee or an agent.\n\nDualEntry cites Slash, which manages $600 million in annual recurring revenue with a two-person finance team, and Graphite, which reduced its month-end close from 20 days to one, as examples of how modern ERP systems can support leaner financial operations. \"SaaS gave every accountant a login. AaaS gives every accountant a team,\" Dohmen said.\n\n## DualEntry's Funding and Journal Entry Volume\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), DualEntry closed a $90 million Series A in October 2025 led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Khosla Ventures at a reported $415 million post-money valuation, bringing total funding above $100 million. The same records show the company has processed $100 billion worth of journal entries with AI automation since launch. DualEntry was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in New York.\n\n## DualEntry's Earlier Product Launches\n\nDualEntry launched Tasks in October 2026, a workspace that brings accounting work, approvals, exceptions, and AI agents into one place, with tasks created automatically from agents, exceptions, alerts, and notifications, according to FinancialContent Business Page. Earlier that month, DualEntry launched a native two-way integration with Expensify that syncs expenses, corporate card spend, reimbursements, and accounting data, FinancialContent Business Page reported. In September 2026, Expensify announced a two-way integration with DualEntry, with DualEntry's chart of accounts and tax rates syncing into Expensify, according to Stock Titan.\n\n## DualEntry's Silicon Valley Bank Marketplace Offer\n\nDualEntry's AI-native ERP is available through the Silicon Valley Bank Offers marketplace, offering eligible new customers a discount of up to $20,000, FinancialContent Business Page reported in October 2026. The platform automates accounting workflows for companies from $5 million in annual revenue to publicly listed firms.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
