The Role
We are looking for a dynamic + strategic teammate at Burkland. If you have experience with implementing a Practice Management System in a Service Company Environment (preferably an Accounting Firm), this position is a wonderful fit for you!
Practice Management System
The Technical Lead position is a hands-on role, responsible for working hand in hand with the Service Delivery Lead and a third-party implementation team to implement a Practice Management System for Burkland. The Technical Lead will focus on the technical aspects of the implementation, while the Service Delivery Lead will focus on the processes, procedure, and project management aspects of the implementation.
Once Implementation is complete, the Technical Lead will work hand in hand with the Service Delivery Leads of each team (CFO / Accounting / People Partners and Tax) to maintain compliance with the system and work on system enhancements and issues.
AI and Other Emerging Technologies
The Technical Lead will also be responsible for staying up-to-date with emerging technologies (including AI) and selecting the ones that will produce efficiency gains for our organization. The Technology Lead will lead the efforts towards implementing these technologies and ensuring that they are integrated into our existing processes/systems seamlessly.
- Stay up-to-date with emerging software/technologies, particularly those related to AI, and identify which ones will be most beneficial to our organization.
- Research and review new software to determine its potential for implementation and scalability. Focused areas will include Accounting Systems, Bill Pay Systems, Expense Reporting Systems, and FP&A tools.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including operations, service delivery, and business development, to identify opportunities for improving processes through technology.
- Develop and implement best practices for technology implementation and management.
