iplicit, the leading cloud accounting platform purpose-built for the UK and Ireland's mid-market, has today appointed Andy Jackson as VP Finance.

Jackson, a leader with over 27 years' experience spanning strategic, operational, and commercial finance, transitions into the VP role having served as Financial Controller at the firm for two years.

The move follows a series of VP appointments by the software firm, which is strengthening its leadership team to drive continued growth in 2026 and prepare for new investment.

Jackson will support CFO Rob Steele in leading the company through its next scale-up phase, assuming responsibility for the full operational and strategic finance function, with Steele focusing on cross-functional initiatives and investor relations.

As Financial Controller, Jackson led iplicit's finance function through a period of hypergrowth, supporting the business as it scaled into its seventh consecutive year since market launch in 2019 delivering an average YoY revenue growth above 100%, with 2026 set to be its eighth year delivering on-average YoY revenue growth of 100%..

iplicit, which provides an award-winning cloud accounting solution to mid-market businesses and charities, is currently on track to reach unicorn status by 2030 - defined as a privately held company valued at $1bn.

Fast-growth SaaS leader

Jackson brings almost three decades of finance experience to the VP role, 12 years of which have been dedicated to fast-growth SaaS and technology businesses.

Prior to iplicit, he held a variety of finance leadership positions, including Head of Finance at adult social care and SEND technology provider Imosphere and Finance Director at expense management provider Selenity, where he supported the business through rapid scaling from £2m to acquisition over a four-to-five-year period.

His focus on transforming finance into a strategic growth engine - driving improved ARR and NRR through data-led commercial planning and cross-functional collaboration - positions him well to lead iplicit's financial operations as the company accelerates towards a 2027 investment raise.

Rob Steele, CFO at iplicit, adds: "The right VP Finance at this pivotal stage in our growth needed both fast-growth SaaS experience and deep operational knowledge of our business. Andy brings both, and his appointment positions us strongly as we enter our next phase of growth and prepare for our next funding round at the end of 2027.”

“Our own market intelligence tells us we’re implementing more systems than any other vendor in the space. As we continue to solidify our position as the UK's go-to mid-market accounting solution - rescuing tens of thousands of mid-market organisations from painful legacy accounting systems and investing heavily in product innovation and customer experience - having a robust leadership team in place is vital.”

“Andy will work alongside our enhanced VP layer overseeing key strategic areas of the business, ensuring we have the operational rigour and cross-functional alignment essential at this stage."

iplicit appointed Sam Curtis as VP Education in January 2026 to reinforce its commitment to the underserved UK education sector. It also announced Ben Crow as VP Partnerships in September 2025 to drive the enablement and expansion of its reseller, integration and accountancy partner network, which includes several UK top 50 firms such as Forvis Mazars and BDO.

Andy Jackson adds: "I'm thrilled to be taking on the VP Finance role at such an exciting juncture. With impressive scale on the cards for 2026, our position as the mid-market’s favourite accounting solution is only growing stronger.”

“As we accelerate towards our next investment round, my priorities as VP will centre around evaluating our systems and processes to ensure they can support sustained growth, maintaining clean, transparent financial records - giving investors complete confidence in our numbers and our readiness to scale - and leveraging automation and AI to build a high-performing, lean finance function.”

Since market launch in 2019, iplicit has grown to serve more than 48,000 daily users across 103 countries. In January 2025, it secured a £25m investment from leading growth fund One Peak. This marked its first institutional raise, having 'bootstrapped' growth for its first six years with £18.5m invested by individuals on the management team, taking total investment to date to £43.4m.

The business, which recently celebrated a 5-star rating on Glassdoor, is targeting circa 330 employees by 2028, with 80 new hires expected in 2026 across commercial, support and engineering teams. It was recognised on The Sunday Times 100 Tech - Britain's fastest-growing private technology companies – in January 2026, as well as the 2024 and 2025 Financial Times' FT1000 list of Europe's fastest growing businesses.

iplicit is investing heavily in product development in 2026, with a particular focus on AI-powered functionality and intelligent automation that addresses the specific workflows and finance requirements of the underserved mid-market segment.

Andy Jackson concludes: “Our own platform will be central to powering our growth. We're committed to role-modelling how iplicit supports efficiency and growth for scaling businesses by utilising its full capabilities across our finance operation. And with new AI functionality coming soon, we'll also be showcasing firsthand how intelligent automation delivers genuine operational benefits for fast-growth SaaS businesses."
