Finance Automation

Bough is a decidedly different kind of advisory, assurance, and transformation solutions firm. Working collaboratively with clients in finance, audit, and compliance organizations, we co-create integrated solutions that connect people, processes, and technologies to navigate accounting, reporting, and compliance matters.

Our services include finance and accounting advisory, revenue assurance, FP&A advisory and support, risk advisory, and process automation and transformation.

We are busy and sometimes crazy busy delivering exceptional results to our clients with trust, quality, and humanness. Our name 'Bough' means the main branch of a tree - a name that keeps us grounded in nature and emphasizes our belief that we wish to be the main branch on which our clients and employees lean with trust.

For any position we are hiring, we don't just want you to be an ambitious, analytical, multi-skilled, risk-taking go-getter for Bough. We want you to be more. More for yourself and for anything you undertake. Socially responsible, intuitive, empathetic, trustworthy, thoughtful, imaginative, creative, and curious are some words that resonate with us. Your skills are a qualifier, and we believe that each of us is much more than the skills we bring to our job - the person we are looking for...

Role Overview
We're looking for minds that see inefficiency as raw material and automation as a craft. You design systems that scale without friction and instinctively ask: What can be automated? What can be accelerated? What can be reimagined entirely? If you can translate business problems into technical blueprints, engineer solutions that reduce human drag, and lift an organization's capability through automation + GenAI, this is your inflection point. We need architects of intelligence, not just builders of code.

Key Responsibilities

• Take real finance friction and turn it into working systems
• Design and build data systems that organize raw inputs into usable, reliable structures
• Raise data quality to "decision-grade" through validation, reconciliation, and controls
• Create measurable efficiency in finance processes through automation and workflow redesign
• Prototype fast (Python / R / SQL); productionize what works with sound engineering practices
• Build and deploy GenAI solutions, including agentic workflows, with a pragmatic ROI focus
• Deliver automation in the real world: RPA (UiPath or equivalent) plus the broader stack (ETL/ELT, workflow, APIs)
• Drive delivery across stakeholders, locations, and timelines; land adoption and change
• Document clearly and leave reusable assets: pipelines, components, templates, and runbooks

Qualifications And Experience

• 3+ years in finance technology/analytics/automation or consulting
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Information Systems/Finance/Statistics
• Strong data fundamentals (databases, modeling, and Excel); comfortable with messy, heterogenous datasets
• Hands-on with Python or R; strong SQL preferred
• Proven delivery with RPA platforms (UiPath or equivalent), beyond curiosity or POCs
• Experience implementing or integrating BI/ETL/workflow tools; familiarity with cloud data stacks a plus
• Demonstrated work with GenAI (incl. agentic solutions): experiment → evaluate → deploy with safeguards

Preferred Skills

• Structured thinker with strong judgment; low-ego operator who ships, iterates, and improves, fast
• Systems thinker: anticipates failure modes and tightens seams before they split
• Security- and control-aware by default; designs with auditability and resilience in mind
• Clear, executive-ready communication, able to translate technical choices into business impact
• Stakeholder leadership across Finance, Operations, Data, and Engineering; drives outcomes to closure
• Documentation discipline and change management mindset to ensure durable adoption
