Hello, I'm looking for an experienced corporate accountant with several years of hands-on experience in a merchandising and manufacturing company. I'm looking for a short crash course (probably just a couple of hours to start) from someone who has actually worked in industry and can explain how accounting is done in the real world including but definitely not limited to using an ERP system (NetSuite, Infor). I already have a number of questions I'd like to go through, and if things go well, there's a good chance I'll reach out from time to time with additional questions as I continue learning. I'm hoping to get started as soon as possible. If this sounds like a good fit, I'd love to hear about your background and experience. Thank you!

I’m working with CPA firms on AI adoption across accounting and tax workflows. You don’t need to be an AI expert — that’s what I do. I mainly need help reviewing client calls or call recordings and articulating the CPA firm workflows, key steps, pain points, and challenges around accounting and tax filing processes. This would be a small engagement to start, but there could be more work as we bring on additional CPA firm clients.
