Own the technology end to end — take the Open Accountancy Practice prototype to production and lead engineering as it scales across every firm we acquire.
Run acquisition and integration — close the deals, then carry every acquired firm through transition.
The Company
GIH is building an operating group. Its first platform, Open Accountancy, focuses on UK accountancy. Our proposed model is to acquire 65% of a practice, with local partners retaining 35%, and improve the business through our own software, evaluations and operational support. We are developing the software, working with design partners and pursuing the first acquisition.
40,000+ UK firms scanned and scored for succession and AI-readiness, surfacing 8,300+ high-conviction targets — already in live outreach, with our first seller in conversation.
Open Accountancy Practice has functional software and demo workflows. The wider Open Accountancy platform also includes synthetic testing and benchmarks. The next step is to validate live integrations and operating outcomes with design partners.
Open Role · Engineering
We can get a product 80% of the way there. We need a lead engineer who owns the other 20% — and everything after it.
Turn the prototype into a secure, multi-tenant, production-grade platform that real regulated firms run live client data through.
Agentic accounting, VAT and bookkeeping workflows with human-in-the-loop review, source-linked outputs, and an eval layer that proves automation rates honestly — core to our edge, because we measure what others won’t.
Use authorised work evidence and accountant corrections to improve Open Accountancy Practice and the tests in Open Accountancy. Own the model strategy and prove the improvement in verified outcomes.
Open Banking, Xero, Sage, QuickBooks and FreeAgent, plus HMRC MTD and Agent Services APIs.
Hire and lead engineering as GIH scales across acquired practices.
“You don’t need to know accounting. I’ll bring the domain and the deals; you bring the engineering.”
Package
Significant equity and full ownership of the technology. A founding technical seat at an AI-native holding company with software in development, an acquisition pipeline and fundraising under way.
Open Role · M&A
You are not an advisor to this process; you are accountable for it, deal after deal. As the platform compounds, you’ll have run more AI-era integrations than anyone in the market — because you’ll have written the method.
Own deal origination through to signature, working alongside the live origination engine.
Own the integration of every acquired firm from close — client retention through transition, and staff continuity.
Move each practice onto our operating stack without breaking what made it work.
Write the method, and eventually build and lead the team that runs it.
“Deal execution skills matter; integration scars matter more.”
Package
Founding-team equity — this seat sits at the centre of the business and the ownership reflects it. Market cash compensation from close of our current round, with a paid advisory engagement available before close for the right person. Incentives are tied to what integration is actually for: client and revenue retention twelve months post-close, not deal count.
