Opio
AI that does the data grunt work of financial due diligence
Last verified September 20, 2026 · Updated daily
What Opio is building
Opio automates the data-collection phase of financial due diligence, the weeks-long stage where Transaction Services teams at audit firms pull, verify and structure a target company's accounts before an acquisition. The product ships pre-built TS workflows, skills and interfaces on top of frontier models: it ingests the data room, structures it, and flags what doesn't reconcile. Over a million documents have been processed to date. The design choice that matters is controlled delegation. Each workflow step has built-in escalation and pass/fail controls; the AI suggests, the team decides. That's not a hedge, it's the requirement for a product that has to survive an audit firm's own quality review. Everything deploys inside the client's infrastructure, no training on client data, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, GDPR and AI Act compliant. One client quote on the site says the difference is that Opio 'understands Transaction Services workflows and the level of scrutiny our work requires.' The reported number is 27% of a TS professional's time saved per FDD, and the stated aim is to let that time shift earlier into analysis, judgement and client relationships. The roadmap is a second product in early 2027 and expansion into the full financial-audit scope. The founders are unusual for a vertical-AI company. Tristan Fulchiron spent a decade as a French civil servant, leading engineering organisations at the Ministry of Defence and then in the cabinet of the Interior Minister, where he ran digital-transformation programmes including online complaint filing and France Identité. Olivier Chancé, a Centrale Paris engineer, built engineering and data teams in Brazil and France as a founding engineer.
Why this matters
Financial due diligence is a high-margin, deadline-driven, document-heavy service sold by a small number of large firms, and the work is still largely done by hand. That's the ideal shape for a vertical AI wedge: the buyer is concentrated (Forvis Mazars and BDO are already customers), the workflow is standardised enough to encode, and the quality bar is enforced by regulators, which makes 'controlled delegation' a moat rather than a constraint. Tristan's own framing: lawyers, consultants and developers have had their AI moment; auditors carrying out FDD haven't. The traction is real and the geography is the tell. Fifteen percent of revenue is already outside France and the target is 50% within a year, focused on the UK and Germany, with the US after. Frst and Seedcamp are the two seed funds most European vertical-AI companies want on the cap table, and the angels (Pennylane's CEO, Dust's co-founder, ex-KKR and Deutsche Bank) are the people who both understand the buyer and can open the doors.

How to actually get hired at Opio
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Opio uses an ATS, but referrals still come first. Cold applications aren't ignored — they're just behind referrals, sourced candidates, and recruiter picks.
Who to contact at Opio
What to show them
Build a small pipeline that takes a messy folder of financial statements and trial balances (public filings work), extracts and reconciles them, and produces a reviewer-facing report where every number links back to its source cell or page, with explicit pass/fail checkpoints a human must sign. Show the escalation path, not just the extraction.
A cold email that works at Opio
What Opio screens for
Frst, Seedcamp and GFC co-backing a 10-person Paris team with two named Big-Ten audit customers is a bet that the FDD wedge can expand into full financial audit. The angels tell you who the founders can reach: Pennylane for the finance-software playbook, Dust for the agent-workflow playbook, ex-KKR and bank staff for the buyer side. The company has said exactly what it's hiring for (engineers, UK and German sales) and has no job board, which means the first person to show up with a real FDD story or a real UK TS pipeline is the hire.
Tailor your CV to the specific Opio role rather than sending a general one. Applications that mirror the language of the job description clear automated filters at a materially higher rate.
Don't make these mistakes
Don't pitch Tristan on 'AI transforming professional services'; he spent ten years modernising government engineering orgs and has already sold into two Big-Ten audit firms, so the abstract version is noise. Don't pitch Olivier on model choice either; the product is explicitly built on leading models and the value is in the workflow, escalation and audit trail. Lead with a specific reconciliation failure, data-room mess or reviewer-trust problem you've seen in FDD or audit, or a concrete way you'd sell to a UK TS partner.
Mistakes that kill Opio applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. At people it's obvious, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Lead with their problem, not your ambition. Opio is focused on Financial due diligence is a high-margin, deadline-driven, document-heavy service sold by a small number of large firms, and the work is still largely done by hand — show you understand that.
Don't apply and wait. The median AI application gets no response ever. One follow-up at day five roughly doubles reply rates.
