A Portuguese startup Kangaroo Files uses AI to read invoices line-by-line, automatically classifying expenses and alerting certified accountants to discrepancies. Founded three years ago by four finance and science graduates, the platform now serves over 600 companies and processes 100,000 invoices monthly, with projections of 250,000 monthly by December.
