I am a CPA (former auditor!) who is now a developer, working as a consultant. 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 looking to get involved in some interesting work where my skills might be of use. I code mostly in an in-house functional language the firm developed based on D, but I'm adept with python as well. I'm not looking for a straight developer position (I do enough of that already!) but here's the sort of things I might be able to help out with: -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 between business and tech people (I can speak both languages) - Liason with external accountants, tax people, etc
Happy with anything 5-10 hours a week. I can probably make more time for short-term or ad hoc projects as well if necessary.
