I am a CPA (former auditor!) who is now a developer, working as a consultant for two firms. I'm mostly looking for part time work. One of the projects I'm involved with now is winding down and I will have about 10 hours a week open starting in the next few weeks.
Right now my main role is working at a large finance company transforming their business processes with code, and sitting between the accounting department and developers to try and move things in a sensible direction. I'm part project manager part business analyst.
I'm looking to get involved in some interesting work where my skills might be of use. I currently code mostly in an in-house functional language the firm developed based on D, but I'm adept with python as well. I've built internal tools, such as a library for automating financial reporting, some basic CRUD web interfaces for managing data, I built a REST API to serve up some finance data for the rest of the firm, etc.
Here's the sort of things I might be able to help out with:
- I can speak both the business language and the tech language. I can help manage and lead projects while understanding the tech side of things
- Advise on improving your operations
- Typical accounting work, like month end closes, financial statements, bookkeeping, analysis, etc. (The advantage here for me would be that I'd like to automate as much as possible, where the typical accountant might not have the skills for that)
- Help put business processes and logic into code
- Make business problems go away (compliance, tax, paperwork type stuff, etc)
- Liason with external accountants, tax people, etc
