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 building scalable financial operations and needs someone who can transform manual accounting processes into automated, repeatable workflows.

This position focuses on understanding current workflows, identifying automation opportunities, connecting data across systems, and creating solutions that improve accuracy and efficiency. While the initial work centers on accounting and finance, high performers may expand into automation projects across other business functions.

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 that improve accuracy rather than simply accelerating flawed processes
• Build exception-based workflows so teams can focus on issues instead of routine data entry
• Document processes clearly for ongoing maintenance and improvement

What We're Looking For

Required 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 attention to detail
• Ability to work with non-technical users and translate business problems into automated solutions
• Good documentation habits
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where systems and processes are evolving

Preferred Experience:

• Experience 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, logistics, or other data-intensive business environments
• Accounting, finance, data analytics, systems, or engineering background

The Right Mindset:

This role suits someone who enjoys solving practical business problems and can ask the right questions: Why is this manual? What data is needed? Where does it come from? What can be safely automated? What requires review? How do we verify accuracy? How do we make it repeatable?

We need someone who understands business processes, collaborates with the people doing the work, and builds automation that holds up in real-world conditions—not someone who only writes code in isolation.
