DualEntry Raises $100M to Launch an AI-native ERP

On this episode of The SaaS CFO Podcast, Ben Murray welcomes Santiago Nestares, co-founder of Dual Entry, to discuss the rapid rise of their AI-powered ERP built for the modern mid-market company. Santiago Nestares shares the inspiration behind Dual Entry, which emerged from firsthand frustrations with legacy accounting systems during his journey scaling a previous startup to $100 million in revenue. The conversation digs into what sets Dual Entry apart—an ERP designed from the ground up with AI, offering next-day migration, seamless integrations, and advanced agentic features for faster, more insightful closes.  Together, Ben Murray and Santiago Nestares explore the company’s approach to building a product that adapts as businesses grow, the challenges (and solutions) around complex ERP migrations, and why user happiness and rapid go-lives are among Dual Entry’s top success metrics. They also dive into Dual Entry's impressive fundraising journey, ambitious go-to-market strategies, and why they believe ERP trauma shouldn’t hold finance teams back from modern solutions.  If you’re curious about the next wave of finance tech for CFOs—or want to hear how Dual Entry is changing the game for SaaS and beyond—this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.  Show Notes:  00:00 "Scaling Challenges with ERP Systems"  05:05 "Mid-Market Business Growth Strategy"  09:03 AI Tools for Business Automation  12:04 "Building Fast, Customer-Focused Teams"  14:56 "Strong Software & Migration Insights"  17:24 "Customer-Focused Go-to-Market Strategy"  22:11 Overcoming ERP Implementation Barriers  25:17 "Launching Agents, SaaS Expansion"  26:17 Dual Entry Resources & Community  Link:  SaaS Fundraising Stories: https://www.thesaasnews.com/news/dualentry-raises-90-million-in-series-a  Santiago Nestares’ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/santiago-nestares/  DualEntry’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dualentry/  DualEntry’s Website: https://www.dualentry.com/  To learn more about Ben check out the links below:  Subscribe to Ben’s daily metrics newsletter: https://saasmetricsschool.beehiiv.com/subscribe  Subscribe to Ben’s SaaS newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/df1db6bf8bca/the-saas-cfo-sign-up-landing-page  SaaS Metrics courses here: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/  Join Ben’s SaaS community here: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/offers/ivNjwYDx/checkout  Follow Ben on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benrmurray
