Outmin: Human-in-the-loop accounting software for small businesses
Summary
Founded in 2020, this Irish start-up offers bookkeeping, accounting, finance and tax services to small businesses in Ireland and the UK. “We see the future of the accounting industry centring around ‘human-in-the-loop’ AI, where strong finance professionals are supported by novel software to serve a greater volume of companies to a higher standard than previously possible,” Kelleher explained. Late last year, Outmin secured investment from Enterprise Ireland along with some experienced angels and VCs who believe in Kelleher and co-founder Ross Hunt’s vision. Hunt is himself a qualified accountant and previously founded Cainthus, an agritech start-up applying computer vision and AI to food production. It was Hunt’s understanding of the typical accountant-client relationship, plus a realisation of what was possible from a technical perspective, that led him to the idea and vision for Outmin.
