Accounting Automation Engineer

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential technology client seeking an Accounting Automation Engineer to join their remote team. Our client is a growing organization that needs to transform manual accounting and finance processes into scalable, automated workflows.

This role is ideal for someone who can bridge the gap between business operations and technical automation—understanding how work gets done today, identifying repetitive manual steps, and building solutions that are accurate, repeatable, and maintainable.

Responsibilities

• Review manual accounting and finance workflows and identify automation opportunities
• Build repeatable processes across multiple systems, exports, reports, and data sources
• Improve reconciliations, journal-entry preparation, close tracking, reporting, and exception management
• Connect operational data to accounting and finance processes
• Create templates, scripts, dashboards, workflows, and documentation that reduce manual work
• Collaborate with accounting, finance, operations, and technology teams to understand process gaps and build practical solutions
• Design controls to ensure automation improves accuracy rather than simply speeding up flawed processes
• Create exception-based workflows so teams can focus on issues instead of routine data entry
• Document processes clearly for long-term maintenance and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

Required Skills and Experience:

• Proven experience automating manual processes using tools such as Excel, Google Sheets, SQL, Python, Power Query, VBA, Google Apps Script, Zapier, Make, Power Automate, APIs, or similar platforms
• Strong ability to work with data exports, reports, spreadsheets, and system-generated files
• Understanding of accounting or finance processes, including reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close, AP, payroll, reporting, or financial analysis
• Ability to map current processes, identify failure points, and build cleaner workflows
• Strong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail
• Ability to work with non-technical users and translate business problems into automated solutions
• Strong documentation habits
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where systems and processes are still evolving

Preferred Experience:

• Experience working with accounting, ERP, banking, payroll, expense management, inventory, reporting, or operational systems
• Experience building dashboards, exception reports, reconciliation tools, or workflow automations
• Experience with multi-system data matching and process improvement
• Background supporting accounting, finance, operations, or other data-intensive business environments
• Accounting, finance, data analytics, systems, or engineering background

The Right Mindset:

This role is best suited for someone who approaches manual processes with curiosity and asks: Why is this being done manually? What data is needed? Where does it come from? What can be automated safely? What should remain subject to review? How do we prove accuracy? How do we make it repeatable?

We need someone who can understand the business process, work collaboratively with the people doing the work, and build practical automation that holds up in real-world conditions—not someone who writes code in isolation.
