BrightAnalytics opens office in Paris and accelerates international expansion

Roeselare, July 4, 2025 – BrightAnalytics, the Belgian SaaS market leader in consolidated management reporting, will open a new office in Paris at the beginning of August. The opening marks a new milestone in the international growth of the tech company, which previously launched offices in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands.

After a strong start in Scandinavia, where a team of twenty employees is now active and a rapidly growing office in Rotterdam, BrightAnalytics is now setting its sights on establishing a local presence in the French market. The Paris office will open on August 5 and will immediately be staffed by a local sales team of five people.

“France is a strategically logical step for us and offers enormous market potential,” says Jonathan Ballieu, VP Sales. “We’re seeing a clear need here as well for intuitive, real-time reporting tools that ease the workload of CFO teams and help them move faster.”

International growth supports market relevance

BrightAnalytics now generates nearly half of its revenue outside of Belgium. Its customer base includes more than 1,000 organizations across Europe. Among its users are Belgian companies such as Willy Naessens, J.Cortès, Loop Earplugs, Bavet, Teamleader, Sportoase and Stas, as well as international groups like Fotografiska and Densiq.

“Our growth shows how universal the challenges are that finance teams face,” says Lode Bogaert, co-founder. “Whether it’s an industrial group or a tech company, CFOs want control over their consolidated figures and are fully embracing automation to achieve that.”

Smart use of artificial intelligence

Alongside its international expansion, BrightAnalytics is heavily investing in technological innovation, with a strong focus on artificial intelligence. AI is not being used as a buzzword, but as a real productivity booster within the CFO’s office.

“AI must do more than just summarize data,” says Olivier Seynhaeve, co-founder. “We’re building solutions that genuinely save financial teams time and help prevent errors. Our technology supports them in streamlining complex processes, detecting anomalies faster, and gaining clear insights into financial data.”

European ambition and local roots

With five offices across Europe and a team of one hundred employees, BrightAnalytics continues to strengthen its position as a European benchmark in consolidated reporting.

“We believe in the power of local presence combined with a unified technology vision,” concludes Merijn Demuynck. “Our long-term strategy is focused on sustainable growth, with an emphasis on simplicity, speed, and reliability in reporting.”
