Accounting & Finance Lead - Process & Automation

Creative Financial Staffing

Accounting & Finance Lead - Process & Automation Focus


Finance and accounting teams are changing rapidly - and the best professionals today aren't just maintaining processes, they're improving them.


We're partnering with growing organizations that are investing heavily in better systems, smarter workflows, automation, and modern finance operations. These opportunities are ideal for accounting and finance professionals who enjoy improving processes, leveraging technology, and helping organizations scale efficiently.


This is more than a traditional accounting role. It's an opportunity to have real influence on how finance functions operate moving forward.
What You'll Be Doing
  • Streamline and improve accounting and finance processes
  • Help reduce manual work through automation and smarter workflows
  • Partner cross-functionally with leadership, operations, and IT teams
  • Improve reporting accuracy, visibility, and financial insights
  • Support ERP implementations, system upgrades, and process improvements
  • Build scalable processes and controls to support company growth
What We're Looking For
  • Accounting or finance background within public accounting, corporate accounting, FP&A, or operational finance
  • Experience working within modern ERP systems such as NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar
  • Strong Excel and reporting skills with a systems-oriented mindset
  • Professionals who enjoy identifying inefficiencies and improving processes
  • Exposure to automation tools, AI tools, Power BI, workflow optimization, or financial systems enhancements is highly preferred
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
Why These Opportunities Stand Out
  • High visibility and partnership with leadership teams
  • Opportunity to influence systems, processes, and operational strategy
  • Organizations investing in modernization and scalable infrastructure
  • Technology viewed as a solution - not an obstacle
  • Strong opportunity for long-term growth and career development

If you're someone who enjoys improving the way work gets done - not just maintaining the status quo - we'd love to connect.
