Description
Founded in 2016, Georges Tech, which has developed an online application to automate accounting for the liberal professions and the self-employed, has announced around 100 recruitments. It has just raised €30 million from Singular and its historical investors Alven and Kerala. These funds will enable the company to develop new functionalities, extend its offer to more tax regimes and enter the US market. To do so, it intends to recruit sales staff, developers and product managers in Lyon (69). It is also taking the opportunity to change its name to Indy.
