Pennylane is also developing expanded functionalities, with the goal of becoming a central company in electronic invoicing for very small enterprises (VSEs) and small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The company is striving to develop new integrations every month and keep improving the user experience.
“Six months after the launch of our accounting software, more than 300 accounting firms have adopted it and use it daily to collaborate with their clients and keep their accounts. More and more firms decide to migrate all of their files on the platform — whether they are ‘young’ firms which settle and exclusively use Pennylane or more established firms which migrate hundreds of their files on our platform,” Arthur Waller co-founder and CEO, said in a press release.

Launched in 2020 and headquartered in Cherbourg, France, Pennylane was co-founded by Waller, Felix Blossier, chief operations officer; Quentin de Metz, chief technology officer; Tancrède Besnard, head of products; and Edouard Mascré, head of sales.
