Save article After hiring 22 people in 2021, the accounting platform has new jobs in engineering, sales, marketing, customer success and administration. Dublin-based accounting tech company AccountsIQ has announced its intention to create at least 30 new jobs in 2022 as it continues to grow its financial management software business. AccountsIQ uses cloud-based technology to help international finance and accounting teams to undergo a digital transformation. It featured in the Deloitte Fast 50 2021 list, which ranks companies based on turnover in the previous three year period. The new jobs will range from roles in engineering and product to sales, marketing, customer success and administration. The company has workspaces in both Dublin and London but allows employees to work in a flexible, hybrid environment. Tony Connolly, founder and CEO of AccountsIQ, said that it is an exciting time for the company as it continues to grow and onboard new customers. “These customers are ambitious organisations who are expanding internationally, adding new entities in different jurisdictions and need to make the most of agile working as they grow,” he said. “Automation of transaction processing along with anytime-anywhere access to real time group-wide results are key factors driving demand for our cloud-based financial management software.” Hiring Now AccountsIQ was established in 2008 by a founding team of chartered accountants, including Connolly, with experience in implementing finance systems. It aims to address problems faced by businesses operating across multiple different locations, currencies and jurisdictions. Medium-sized businesses growing through franchising or multinational subsidiaries can use AccountIQ’s cloud-based financial management software to automate the capture, process and reporting of their financial performance across all business units. The system uses artificial intelligence and an open API strategy to automatically synchronise bank accounts, generate electronic payments, auto-post electronic invoices and integrate front-end systems with easy approval workflow and expense capture via smartphone. In February, AccountsIQ raised €5.8m to grow its cloud accounting platform that is used by 4,000 businesses across 85 countries. The funding was led by UK and Netherlands-based VC firm Finch Capital. Connolly said that the funding has helped the company grow its accounting platform and team, which saw the creation of 22 new jobs in the company in 2021 alone. Some of the accounting tech company’s early investors include Data Electronic Investments, Enterprise Equity, AIB Seed Capital Fund and Gerry McKeown, who is the chair of AccountsIQ.
