Talentedge are excited to be partnering again with a hyper-growth AI scaleup who are backed by global Tier 1 VCs on their first dedicated accounting hire.

Key responsibilities:

• Manage external relationships with auditors, accountants and tax providers
• Optimise current tech stack + scope out an AI-native ERP (Rillet, Campfire etc)
