With regard to the funding, Multiplier will use it to expand its portfolio of businesses on a global stage, and capitalise on a pipeline of interest by companies in tax, accounting and similar professional service sectors.
It will also accelerate the development of its AI automation platform, as it continues to hire engineering talent in Singapore and San Francisco.
Multiplier aims to offer a library of AI and workflow components that can be configured to fit the needs of each acquired company.
Noah Pepper, its Singapore-based chief executive and founder, said: “Moving to Singapore for a globally oriented role and seeing the challenge and opportunity people and businesses face operating across borders is what originally inspired the idea behind the company.”
Pepper, who was formerly an executive with multinational payments service company Stripe, added: “We believe the market will reward players who deliver technology-enabled client service through an integrated platform of people and technology.”
