Summary
$100 million in new funding valued Rillet at $1 billion, capping a Series C that CEO Nicolas Kopp said came together in 48 hours after investors reviewed its recent growth.
600 customers and a doubling of annualized revenue in the last quarter helped drive the round, with many clients replacing Oracle, NetSuite and Intuit systems rather than merely testing the software.
50% of Rillet's customers come from Intuit, 30% from NetSuite and Sage Intacct, and the company recently added an EY alliance plus more public-company clients.
Governance and security remain central to adoption: Rillet says its platform lets accountants audit every AI decision, prevents model training on client data and supports customer-selected foundation models.
A U.S. accountant shortage underpins the pitch, with 61% of finance leaders reporting hiring struggles and federal projections showing accounting jobs still growing by 72,800 through 2034.
