    Dougs raises €50M from Expedition Growth Capital to automate accounting with AI agents

    Dougs raised €50M from Expedition Growth Capital to have AI agents prepare client accounts for chartered accountants to review and sign. The bootstrapped French firm reports €52.2M turnover, over 50,000 clients and 80% gross margins, and plans a 300-person master franchise starting in early 2027.
