1.About BridgeAI Ireland

BridgeAI Ireland is a Dublin-based AI training institute on a mission to bridge young Irish talent into well-paid software and AI careers. We deliver hands-on, employer-aligned programmes — from Generative AI for Business to AI for Software Engineers — combining industry-grade curriculum with a placement engine that connects students directly to Irish tech employers.

We launch our first cohort in September 2026. We are small, fast, founder-led, and looking for the next set of people who want to build the institute alongside us.

2.The role

You will keep the financial and administrative engine of BridgeAI Ireland running cleanly as we scale from launch into a multi-cohort institute. The role suits a fractional finance professional or a small accounting / company-secretarial firm acting as outsourced partner.

You will own bookkeeping, payroll coordination, supplier admin, statutory filing, and management reporting. We are a CRO-registered Irish company with a clear financial plan — your job is to keep the books accurate and the obligations met, and to flag financial risks early.

3.What you will do

• Bookkeeping in line with BridgeAI Ireland’s chart of accounts; monthly close.
• Coordinate payroll and PAYE/PRSI filings for employees and contractors via our payroll provider.
• Manage supplier invoices, expense claims, and bank reconciliations.
• Maintain CRO and Revenue obligations: annual return, corporation tax filings, VAT (if registered), CT preliminary tax.
• Produce monthly management accounts for the Founder; flag variance vs. the Financial Plan.
• Support audit / external accountant relationship.

4.Minimum qualifications

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA Ireland) or equivalent bookkeeping qualification.
• 3+ years working with Irish SME finance and statutory obligations (CRO, Revenue, PRSI).
• Comfortable with a modern tech stack (Xero / QuickBooks / similar; Stripe; Google Workspace).
• Discreet, accurate, and reliable — you will see the full financial picture.
• Right to work in Ireland.

5.Nice to have

• Experience with Skillnet, Springboard+, or other co-funded training programmes (claims, eligible costs).
• Familiarity with cross-border supplier contracts and DTAA / withholding tax considerations.
• Background working with founder-led, early-stage businesses.

6.What we offer

• Flexible engagement — PT employment, fractional contractor, or outsourced firm all welcome.
• A founder who treats finance as a strategic function, not a cost centre.
• Direct line to the Founder; clean Financial Plan to work from.
• Remote-first arrangement.
