AI Automation Specialist (Claude & Accounting Workflows)

About the role

About the Client We’re helping an innovative accounting technology business find an AI Automation Specialist to help build the next generation of AI-powered bookkeeping and accounting systems. The business is investing heavily in AI to transform how accounting firms operate—leveraging intelligent agents, workflow automation, and modern AI technologies to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and enable accountants to focus on higher-value advisory services.
