We are an outsourced accounting and tax firm serving small businesses. We handle bookkeeping, accounts payable, expense management, financial reporting, and tax preparation. We're at a point where we want to seriously rethink how we work — not just add AI tools on top of old processes, but redesign our workflows from the ground up to take advantage of what AI can actually do. We're looking for a contractor who has done this before — someone who understands accounting and tax workflows deeply and also has hands-on experience implementing AI tools in professional services or finance environments. What you'll do: • Map our current accounting and tax workflows end-to-end • Identify where AI can replace, assist, or accelerate steps • Research and evaluate tools that fit our stack (we use QBO, and are open to others) • Work alongside our team to build and document the new workflows — not just hand us a deck • Help us implement and iterate until the workflows are actually running Who we're looking for: • Strong background in accounting, tax, or working closely with firms that do this work • Real experience deploying AI tools in a professional services or finance context — not just theoretical • Familiarity with tools like AI document processing, workflow automation, or AI-assisted review • Someone who can roll up their sleeves and build alongside us, not just consult from a distance This is a part-time engagement to start. If it goes well, there's room to expand the scope. We are serious about this — we want to move from buying tools to actually redesigning how we operate, and we need someone who has done it. In your application, please tell us: what accounting or tax workflows have you redesigned with AI, what tools were involved, and what the before/after looked like. Specifics matter more than credentials here.

Looking for an elite problem solver, either an ex-MBB consultant with deep technical fluency or a seasoned AI Product Manager, to act as the crucial bridge between business operations and technical AI implementation. You will be responsible for dissecting client operations, prototyping the AI logic, writing flawless engineering briefs, and driving the development team to the finish line. What You Will Do: Workflow Audits & Discovery: Lead deep-dive discovery sessions. Map out existing operational workflows, identify bottlenecks, and pinpoint high-ROI opportunities for AI automation. Prototyping & Technical Translation: Because you are an AI power user, you will prototype the initial AI prompts and logic. You will then translate your operational findings into crystal-clear engineering briefs (or PRDs) so developers know exactly what to build. Development Management: Act as the project lead during execution. Manage the engineering workstream, clear roadblocks, and ensure the final solution is delivered on time, within budget, and achieves the strategic goal. Stakeholder Alignment: Act as the primary liaison between non-technical business leaders and the technical development team. Requirements & Qualifications: Top-Tier Pedigree: 1+ years of experience at a top management consulting firm (MBB, Big 4, Tier 2) OR proven experience as a Technical/AI Product Manager. Advanced AI Fluency: You are an AI power user. You possess advanced prompt engineering skills (e.g., chain-of-thought, few-shot) and know how to force LLMs to output reliable, structured data. Elite Structured Thinking: You excel at turning highly ambiguous, messy business processes into clean, logical frameworks (using Lucidchart, Miro, etc.) and comprehensive technical requirements. Project Leadership: Proven track record of managing technical resources, tracking deliverables, managing budgets, and driving teams to a deadline.

Title: Technical Delivery Lead / Orchestrator — AI & Automation Projects (Ongoing, Part-Time) Description: We're looking for a technically strong delivery lead to orchestrate AI and automation builds — not to do the hands-on coding (a dedicated dev team handles that), but to own the layer above it: scoping client needs, translating them into clear build plans, directing the dev team, and quality-checking what they ship. You'd be our technical point person on projects — comfortable on a call with a client or partner one minute, and reviewing the dev team's architecture the next. We need someone who can tell good work from bad, push back when something's off, and keep projects moving without being micromanaged. This is an ongoing, flexible, part-time role across a steady pipeline of work (marketing automation, agentic AI workflows, web/app builds). You'd start on one project to prove fit, then expand from there. Must-haves: - Strong technical background — you've built real things (read code, architect a solution, judge a dev team's work), with hands-on exposure to AI agents / automation (n8n, LangChain/LangGraph, or similar) - Client-facing polish — represent us professionally to clients and partners - Orchestration experience — you've scoped work and directed developers/teams, not just built it yourself - Based on the US West Coast — reliable overlap with both our team and an offshore dev team To apply, please include: To apply, just a few sentences on each: 1. One project where you scoped a client's need, directed a dev team, and delivered — what was yours vs. the team's 2. A line on your technical depth (something you've architected or built) and a line on client-facing work you've done 3. Your quick take: a client wants an "autonomous marketing system" live in 30 days — what's the first thing you'd want to know, and the most common reason these underdeliver? Keep it short — we're after sharp thinking, not a polished pitch. Individuals only — not agencies.

I am a Ph.D. and digital product business owner who uses AI (Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools) every day to build, market, and scale my business. My 12-year-old son and I are looking for an experienced AI tutor who can teach us how to work with AI effectively—not just how to ask questions, but how to think, build, create, and solve problems with AI. This is an ongoing coaching relationship, not a one-time class.

We are looking for someone who can progressively teach him how to use AI to create, build, and solve problems. Topics may include: • Learning how to communicate effectively with AI and using AI to support academic success • Critical thinking and verifying AI responses • Research and creative writing • Brainstorming and problem solving • Website design and development with AI • Creating simple games with AI • Building apps and digital tools as his skills grow • Learning basic programming concepts using AI as a coach • Entrepreneurship and business ideas • Using AI to help businesses become more efficient • Marketing and content creation • Responsible and ethical use of AI • Developing confidence as a creator—not just a consumer—of AI technology The ideal tutor enjoys helping young people build real-world skills and can gradually increase the difficulty as Jordan grows. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN YOU • Demonstrated experience teaching AI—not simply using it • Strong prompt engineering knowledge • Comfortable teaching both an adult professional and a motivated 12-year-old • Patient, engaging, and adaptable • Able to build a long-term curriculum instead of isolated lessons • Reliable, organized, and an excellent communicator Bonus experience: • Programming or software development • Website development • AI-assisted coding • Game development • Digital marketing • Entrepreneurship • Small business consulting LOGISTICS • Two weekly sessions (one for Jordan and one for me--45–60 minutes each) • Zoom • Weekly to start • Start date: ASAP • Budget: Please include your hourly rate. TO APPLY Please include: Your hourly rate. Your experience teaching AI and prompt engineering. An example of how you would structure Jordan's first month of lessons. An example of how you would structure my first month of lessons. What you think will be the most valuable AI skills for a motivated 12-year-old to develop over the next five years. Applications that do not answer these questions will not be considered. We are looking for someone who enjoys teaching, stays current with AI, and is excited about helping both a business owner and a young learner become confident, capable AI users and creators.

I am looking for someone who enjoys solving complex architectural challenges and who is interested in building something from the ground up. ## Please Include 1. A brief summary of your architecture experience. 2. Examples of enterprise software systems you have helped design. 3. AI-related experience. 4. Your preferred technology stack. 5. Why this opportunity interests you. The initial engagement is intended as an architectural evaluation. A longer-term relationship may develop if there is a strong mutual fit.
