Atlas, an accounting tech startup headquartered in Singapore, has successfully raised $6 million in a funding round co-led by Accel and Stellaris Venture Partners. The funding will be utilized to enhance its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform and expand operations in North America. Founded in 2025 by Arpit Maheshwari and Jagmal Singh, Atlas aims to support independent accounting firms in scaling their operations without increasing headcount. The U.S. accounting industry, valued at over $150 billion, is currently experiencing a significant talent crunch, with more than 300,000 accounting professionals leaving the workforce since 2019. Maheshwari noted that Atlas is developing specialized AI agents to act as junior team members for seasoned accountants, thereby increasing efficiency and learning with each interaction. The startup's approach focuses on integrating AI throughout the entire accounting workflow, contrasting with existing point solutions that often lead to fragmented processes. With this funding, Atlas plans to grow its partner ecosystem across North America, targeting firms that are looking to leverage technology to navigate the complexities of compliance and client demands.
