Economy Minister Dr has announced that US
tech firm, Biller Genie, is establishing a new office in
Belfast and will create 100 high-quality jobs over the next three
years.
Biller Genie is a US tech company headquartered in Florida. It
provides a cloud-based Accounts Receivable platform that
automates bill presentment, follow up, online payments and
reconciliation.
Welcoming the investment, Minister Archibald said:
“Biller Genie's decision to establish an office in the
north is a vote of confidence in our skilled workforce and
thriving tech sector. Invest NI has worked closely with the
company to secure this significant investment, which will create
100 high-quality jobs with average salaries of £65,000. These
roles will provide excellent opportunities for local talent,
while hybrid working arrangements will help ensure greater
regional balance and accessibility.”
The Minister added: “Strategically aligned foreign direct
investment is a catalyst for economic success, innovation, and
job creation. Later today, I will be traveling to Boston to meet
with business leaders and potential investors to showcase the
many advantages of doing business here, from our skilled
workforce to our commitment to innovation and
sustainability.”
The company chose Northern Ireland following a rigorous
evaluation of several global locations including Orlando, India
and South America.
Thomas Aronica, Founder and CEO of Biller Genie said: “We're
thrilled to announce the opening of our new office in Belfast.
This marks a major milestone in our global growth strategy.
Northern Ireland stood out for its exceptional talent pool,
world-class universities, and thriving tech community making it
the perfect environment for innovation. Our Belfast R&D teams
will play a key role in re-engineering our automation platform to
deliver even greater efficiency and intelligence to our
customers.
“We plan to create 100 new jobs over the next three years across
engineering, product development, and operational roles that are
central to Biller Genie's continued expansion. We're excited to
invest in Northern Ireland and become an active part of its
dynamic technology ecosystem.”
Twenty of the new roles are in place with future roles on offer
including software architects, senior developers, engineering
managers and business analysts.
Welcoming Biller Genie to Northern Ireland, Elaine Curran,
Director of Trade and Investment at Invest NI said: “Attracting
industry leaders like Biller Genie is a key focus of our Business
Strategy, which emphasises driving economic growth through
high-value inward investment and the creation of high-quality
jobs.
“Our team in the US worked closely with the company to ensure
Northern Ireland was the right fit for the business. We provided
advice on setting up a business here, facilitated an inward visit
to introduce them to the region and key stakeholders, and have
offered support towards creating the new jobs.
“Once in place the new roles will contribute £6.5m in additional
annual salaries to our economy. We look forward to working with
the company as it establishes and expands its presence here.”
