The investment accelerates the development of AI-powered accounts payable (AP) software, targeting automation and risk mitigation for large enterprises.
Xelix’s platform integrates with existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to detect payment errors, prevent fraud, and automate supplier statement reconciliations.

Xelix, the London-based fintech innovator, has secured an impressive $160 million in Series B funding, forging a new path for how global enterprises approach accounts payable automation. This latest backing, championed by Insight Partners and joined by Passion Capital and LocalGlobe, signals a pivotal moment for enterprise finance teams ready for transformation.
Manual processes in accounts payable have long been a drain—leading to overpayments, fraud risks, and inefficiency. Xelix tackles these pain points by embedding AI-driven intelligence directly into clients’ existing ERP ecosystems. The platform is designed to:
Detect payment errors and potential fraud with real-time insights.
Automate supplier statement reconciliations, freeing finance teams from time-consuming tasks.
Audit every transaction—not just spot checks—mitigating risk and maximizing transparency.
This tailored approach means clients don’t need to overhaul their entire infrastructure to realize significant gains.
2024 saw Xelix roll out its agentic AI-powered Helpdesk module, bringing sophisticated automation to supplier query management. By handling high volumes of questions swiftly and accurately, the company has set a new bar for AP ticketing systems, helping customers realize tangible savings and freeing up teams to focus on strategy.
With over 115 million invoices processed annually and more than $750 billion audited each year, Xelix now counts industry giants like AstraZeneca, BAT, GSK, and Virgin Atlantic among its clients. Its ability to connect seamlessly with complex, multinational environments has established Xelix as a leader in the AP controls space.
The funding round brings Insight Partners’ Ryan Hinkle and Alessandro Luciano to Xelix’s board, further strengthening the company’s focus on intelligent, scalable automation for enterprise finance. Paul Roiter, CEO of Xelix, highlighted this investment as a milestone, enabling rapid product innovation and wider market presence.
As artificial intelligence becomes more central to back-office operations, Xelix’s approach—blending intelligent automation with robust financial controls—is resonating with enterprise leaders eager to ditch outdated processes and turn accounts payable into a true strategic asset.
