France-based payroll software company Linc has raised €8.5M to accelerate its AI-native platform for accounting and payroll firms. Founded in 2024, Linc now reports 68 firms in production and 100+ payroll, HR, accounting and fintech actors on its cap table.

 



Paris, June 2026 — Linc, the French payroll software company built for accounting and payroll firms, has raised €8.5 million to accelerate the development of its AI-native payroll platform and expand its role in modernizing one of the most complex functions in business: payroll.

Every month, millions of payslips are produced in France. Behind each one is an employee who expects to be paid accurately and on time, and a payroll manager responsible for navigating a highly complex regulatory environment. Linc is building the software this profession has long needed: a payroll platform where every calculation line can be traced, explained and verified.

Designed for payroll managers, accounting firms and their clients, Linc combines a transparent payroll engine with a broader digital suite that streamlines the relationship between firms, companies and employees. Its goal is simple: make payroll readable, controllable and reliable again, for those who produce it and for those who receive it.

The new funding round also brings more than 100 members of the payroll, accounting, HR and fintech ecosystem into Linc’s capital. This includes firm leaders, payroll managers, HR experts and fintech founders who understand the daily realities of the profession and the transformation now underway.

For accounting and payroll firms, Linc offers a way to regain control of their tools. For payroll managers, it means more time, more clarity and greater confidence. For the profession, it represents a new generation of software built with payroll experts, not around them.

With this new funding, Linc will continue investing in product development, regulatory coverage, AI capabilities and expert support for its growing community of firms. The company’s ambition is to become the reference payroll platform for demanding accounting and payroll firms in France.
