🇬🇧 London-based fintech startup Adfin has raised $18 million in a Series A funding round led by Index Ventures as the company scales its AI-powered finance automation platform designed to simplify payment collection and accounts receivable workflows for businesses. Founded by Raph Crouan and Julien Villemonteix, Adfin develops embedded financial operations software that helps companies automate invoicing, payment reconciliation, collections, and cash flow management. The startup is focused on eliminating manual finance administration tasks through API-driven workflows and artificial intelligence. The company’s platform integrates directly with accounting systems, CRMs, and payment providers, allowing businesses to automate back-office financial operations and improve payment efficiency. Adfin says its software is already being used by fast-growing SMEs and enterprise customers seeking to modernize finance teams and reduce operational complexity. The newly raised capital will be used to expand engineering and product teams, strengthen AI automation capabilities, accelerate go-to-market operations, and deepen integrations across the broader financial software ecosystem. The company also plans to scale internationally as demand rises for embedded finance infrastructure and automated business operations tools. The funding reflects growing investor interest in enterprise fintech startups building automation layers for business finance workflows. As companies increasingly adopt AI-driven operational tooling, startups focused on receivables automation, payments infrastructure, and financial operations are becoming one of the fastest-growing segments within B2B fintech.
