AI Automation Expert for UK Accountancy Practice

AI Automation Expert for UK Accountancy Practice We are a UK accountancy practice looking for an experienced AI automation specialist on a freelance/project basis to help automate our accounting practice. Our main systems are IRIS, Xero and QuickBooks, and we want to build AI agents and automated workflows around our existing accounting processes. We are specifically looking for someone who has already built and implemented AI/automation systems for accountants or accountancy practices. This is not a role for someone learning AI or looking to experiment on their first accounting project. What we are looking for: * Proven experience implementing AI automation within an accountancy practice * Experience building AI agents and automated workflows * API and systems integration experience * Experience integrating Xero, QuickBooks and/or IRIS * Practical experience with tools such as OpenAI, Claude, n8n, Make, Zapier, Power Automate, Python or similar * Ability to understand an existing accounting process and design a practical automation solution When applying, please answer: 1. What AI/automation systems have you personally built for accountants or accountancy practices? 2. Which accounting software did you integrate? 3. What did the process look like before and after your automation? 4. What measurable time or cost saving did your solution achieve? 5. Can you demonstrate examples of systems you have already implemented? Please do not send a generic proposal. We will only consider applicants who can demonstrate relevant, hands-on implementation experience. This will initially be a project-based engagement, with the opportunity for further projects as we continue automating our practice. Please include examples/case studies and your proposed hourly or project rate.
