Auditoria boosts UK, EU growth with new data hubs, hire
Auditoria has expanded its UK and European operations with a senior leadership appointment in London and new regional data centre infrastructure spanning the UK and Ireland.
The finance automation company has appointed Dean Harrigan to lead its UK office. It has also established a primary data centre in London and a secondary facility in Ireland. Auditoria said the dual-site set-up addresses data localisation expectations and continuity requirements for customers operating across the UK and the European Union.
Auditoria reported 400% year-on-year growth in the number of European customers. The company also cited partnerships with Workday, Cognizant and KPMG as part of its route to market in the region.
Auditoria sells software for finance teams. Its product range includes AI TeamMates, SmartBots and SmartResearch assistants. The company positions these tools around automation across areas such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger and financial planning.
Regional infrastructure
Auditoria said the London site acts as its primary operational hub for the region. The company said the Ireland facility provides redundancy and supports continuity. Auditoria said the arrangement aligns with UK GDPR and EU data residency standards.
The company mentioned that the infrastructure keeps customer financial data within European borders. It said this matters for organisations with internal governance requirements and those operating under national or cross-border regulatory obligations.
Auditoria also framed the infrastructure as part of a broader push towards "sovereign AI" for finance teams in the region. The term has gained currency among technology suppliers and buyers in Europe in response to tighter scrutiny of data transfers and the location of data processing.
One customer referenced the combination of automation and regional processing. "Auditoria's AI TeamMates have become an integral part of how our finance teams operate across Europe. The ability to automate and analyse financial workflows securely within regional data boundaries has accelerated our reporting and improved visibility across entities. With local infrastructure in place, we have the confidence to scale automation while maintaining compliance and governance standards in every market we serve," said Ali Syed, Finance Director, Otto Car.
Leadership hire
Harrigan is based in London. Auditoria described him as a SaaS and finance transformation executive. The company noted he previously served as Regional Sales Director and Head of Workday Adaptive Planning for EMEA.
Auditoria linked the hire to an approach centred on local presence and closer engagement with finance leaders. The company also pointed to the regulatory environment across the UK and Europe. It cited post-Brexit regulatory change and IFRS compliance as factors that shape finance operations and reporting expectations.
"Our continued expansion and investment into the UK and European markets reflects our belief that CFO offices here are ready to embrace agentic AI that drives measurable business outcomes while maintaining full data sovereignty," said Rohit Gupta, CEO and Founder, Auditoria.AI.
Auditoria also described the move as a step in its broader European strategy. "With Dean leading our UK operations and new data centres ensuring regional compliance, we're both laying the foundation and putting a stake in the ground to ensure we are perfectly positioned to help finance teams across Europe transform how they work," said Gupta.
Product focus
Auditoria said European subsidiaries of global customers have increased adoption. It cited activity across the UK, Ireland, Germany and the Nordics. The company stated that finance teams in those markets use its software to speed up cash flow processes and reduce manual work.
The company also set out its view of "agentic AI" in finance. It described systems that can understand, reason and act on financial data. Auditoria said its products integrate with enterprise systems of record and external data feeds.
Auditoria lists tasks it associates with end-to-end finance automation. These include digitising documentation, spend management and collections. The company also said its approach reduces dependence on IT teams.
Harrigan linked current demand to liquidity, spending control and reporting pressure. "Many CFOs are looking for ways to stabilise liquidity, maintain control of spend, and shorten their close cycles, all while operating under tighter compliance and reporting scrutiny," he said. "Auditoria delivers the intelligence and automation capabilities needed to meet those goals efficiently and, now with local infrastructure to support customers in the UK and Europe, we are truly closing the automation gap in the office of the CFO in the region," said Harrigan.
