Nominal Secures $20M Series A to Automate CFO Tasks with AI

Nominal, an AI-driven enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, has secured $20 million in a Series A funding round led by Next47 and Workday Ventures, with participation from existing investors including Bling Capital, Hyperwise Ventures, and others. This brings the company’s total funding to approximately $30 million.

Founders and Background

Founded in April 2023 by Guy Leibovitz (CEO) and Golan Kopichinsky (CTO), Nominal builds on the duo’s prior success with Cognigo, which was acquired by NetApp in 2019 for $70 million. The company currently employs 40 people across Israel and the U.S. and plans to double its workforce in the next year.

The AI Platform

Nominal’s agentic platform integrates with existing ERP systems to automate manual finance tasks like account reconciliations and financial analysis. The AI agents operate autonomously, understanding business context without extensive configuration. The company claims its platform has already saved 50,000 hours of manual accounting work.

Industry Impact

Guy Leibovitz, CEO of Nominal, emphasized the transformative potential of AI in finance:

"The last major shift in ERP was the move to the cloud 25 years ago. Now, AI is reshaping operations. Nominal isn’t just a system of record—it’s a system of intelligence. With a shortage of 300,000 CPAs in the U.S., AI automation is no longer optional."
