Ravical

Accounting and tax practices that want to take on more client work without hiring at the same pace are the audience for Ravical, a company with bases in Ghent, Belgium and London.

Firm-wide tax planning from a practice's own playbooks

The company's idea is that the judgement of a firm's strongest people can be written down as a shared way of working, which AI then carries out across every client. Ravical connects to the systems a practice already runs, such as its CRM, financial software and databases, so that output draws on each client's real figures and history rather than generic assumptions. Preparation and review tasks, for example checking a file against the firm's own standard, are handled by the platform, and anything needing attention is routed to a member of staff. Partners get a view across the whole client book that helps them spot advisory and service openings.

A control room, domain knowledge and a workspace

The platform is described in parts: a Control Room for oversight of cost, quality and return, a Domain Knowledge layer, a Workspace for day-to-day use and an Ecosystem of connections. Published integrations include Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, Silverfin, Xero and CCH practice management, and the site also mentions an AdminPulse integration and a payroll data partnership with Loket. The company states that it holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and is GDPR compliant. Beyond accountancy and tax firms, its pages list HR and payroll companies, insurance brokers and buy-and-build platforms as further audiences, and tax, accounting, legal, payroll, audit and advisory as the work covered.

A seed round to enter new markets

On 29 October 2026 Ravical announced a $17m seed round led by MMC Ventures, with Lakestar and Pitchdrive returning and Shapers joining. The money is earmarked for strengthening its position in the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, continuing the roll-out across the rest of Europe and entering the US. It reports more than 100 accounting firms building on the platform, in the UK, the Netherlands and Belgium among other places. The company also cites its own research finding that 70% of UK SMEs act on AI advice without consulting their accountant.
