AccountsIQ grows workforce & product range after deal

Thu, 8th Jan 2026

AccountsIQ has increased its workforce by 38% year on year as demand grows among finance teams for software that supports more flexible and automated operations.

The Dublin-headquartered cloud accounting provider said the expansion follows a period of investment and the acquisition of UK-based expense management specialist ExpenseIn. The combined AccountsIQ Group now employs 149 people and operates from offices in Dublin and London.

AccountsIQ said finance leaders are seeking alternatives to legacy finance and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems as organisations grow and reporting requirements become more complex. The group now supports more than 35,000 users in over 85 countries.

Product expansion

The group has advanced its product portfolio across both the AccountsIQ and ExpenseIn brands. The company has launched a Workflow Approval Engine for its core platform. The tool focuses on removing process bottlenecks in finance approvals. It provides real-time visibility over approval status. It also adds an additional layer of compliance oversight around financial workflows.

AccountsIQ has also introduced a Non-Financial Metrics Tool. The feature allows chief financial officers and finance teams to track sustainability indicators, operational measures and other non-financial KPIs. These sit alongside traditional financial reporting in the same environment.

ExpenseIn has expanded its own product set. The business has launched a smart business card that links with its expense platform. The card is designed for automated expense capture and reconciliation.

The company said the product developments reflect growing customer interest in connected finance ecosystems. These systems link accounting, expense management and reporting in a single workflow, rather than separate tools.

Fast 50 recognition

In line with its growth, AccountsIQ has moved up Deloitte Ireland's Technology Fast 50 ranking. The company rose ten places to reach 17th position in the latest list, which tracks revenue growth among technology firms based in Ireland.

The ranking highlights technology companies that show rapid expansion over a defined period. AccountsIQ said the move up the table marks a significant milestone in its growth trajectory.

Customer adoption

AccountsIQ reports adoption across a range of sectors, including membership bodies and education. Organisations such as the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and OCN London use its software.

These customers use the platform as the finance layer in wider digital systems. The company said this approach supports connected finance ecosystems, improves operational efficiency and increases financial transparency within organisations.

AccountsIQ positions its software for mid-market and growing businesses. The platform includes group accounting features for organisations with multiple entities. It also includes automation tools that aim to reduce manual processing within finance teams.

Partnership strategy

The group has also extended its partnership activity. Over the past year, AccountsIQ has become the official Data and Insights partner for Harlequins Rugby. This role involves support for the club's use of financial and performance data.

The company has also developed a partnership with Triathlon Ireland. AccountsIQ said these relationships form part of a wider programme that focuses on brand visibility and community engagement.

Partnerships with sporting organisations give software companies access to new audiences. They also create reference customers for analytics and reporting projects in performance-led environments.

ERP "regret" concerns

AccountsIQ has published research into the experience of finance leaders with large-scale ERP implementations. The company said many finance teams feel locked into systems that are difficult to adapt as organisations change.

"CFOs are being asked to move faster than ever, but many are still stuck with systems that hold them back. Our recent CFO Mindset research shows 94% of CFOs who have implemented ERP software now have regrets, it's a clear sign that urgent transformation can lead to the wrong choices. We're focused on freeing finance teams from the 'ERP regret' with a modern platform that scales with their needs. In 2026, we are looking to continue to evolve and refine what we offer to customers at both AccountsIQ and ExpenseIn, doubling down on AI and automation to help them make smarter, faster decisions and accelerate better business performance," said Darren Cran, CEO, AccountsIQ.

The group plans further product work around artificial intelligence and automation across both the AccountsIQ and ExpenseIn brands over the coming years.
