Statistics
Accounting firms and AI statistics 2025
30.7%
According to Eurostat (2025), 30.7% of EU enterprises paid for cloud software for finance and accounting.
The team gets back about 64 hours of work a month, or 8 working days, and the company €26,628 a year. We count after the time a person spends checking and after the model cost.
1,500 × 3 min = 75 h × €34.90 = €2,618 a month. With the system, a person checks the output in 15% of the old time (€393) and the model costs €5.97. That leaves €399. The saving is €2,219 a month, so €3,000 pays back in 1.4 months.
Assumptions: 3 minutes to check the changes in a document and checking in 15% of the old time are our assumptions. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. We measured the model cost of €0.004 per invoice in our invoice coding system, converted at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.

Questions
How much does invoice automation cost?
From €3,000 net, paid once. After the 5-day test the build takes 2 to 6 weeks. You get a fixed price before the contract: 50% on signing and 50% after acceptance on your own documents.
Will it work with the software we use?
According to the vendor, Symfonia ERP WebAPI is a REST service with JSON messages that handles orders and sales documents in the Trade module and adds documents to the draft buffer in the Finance and Accounting module. Before we quote, we check your version, your licences and how records are saved. If saving is not possible, the system prepares a ready file or a draft for approval.
When does it not pay off?
Below 170 documents a month the payback takes more than a year. Then it is better to start with ChatGPT or Claude for the team, from €1,150 net.
What do we need to prepare?
A description of how work is split today, 20 to 100 documents with corrections and a list of the people involved.
What our OpenAI and Anthropic partnerships mean for you.
OpenAI makes ChatGPT and Anthropic makes Claude. We belong to the partnership programs of both companies, so we work with their tools every day and learn from the creators themselves.
