Automation is becoming increasingly important in the world we live in. It helps businesses to better serve their customers, properly organize their employees, and minimize human error in their operations. At Deep Consulting Solutions we make automation solutions to organize and manage small niche companies and enable them to grow big while staying effective and delivering their best service.
Do you want to be part of a no-nonsense consultancy that grows successful and effective businesses with effective software solutions? Our Global Consulting Team is looking for Accounting Procedures &Processes Analysts to create effective accounting procedures for our clients' businesses for the purpose of developing custom software solutions that will execute such processes. We need flexible and organized thinkers, passionate about accounting automation with good understanding of accounting processes and procedures in small businesses and practical experience in implementing them.
What We Do
We find niche and successful small companies who have problems running their complex internal productions as they scale. The first thing that we do for them is effectively re-organize their operational processes so that they can most effectively attract, service and retain their customers and run their internal production in the way most optimal for quality and profitability. The second thing we do is build and implement a software solution that will administer and enforce the new and improved operation model.
Accounting is a very critical part of the process improvement and automation that we provide to our clients. Most of our clients have a very manual and usually disorganized accounting process when we first meet them, as it is hard for them to manually conduct proper accounting at their scale. Since we digitally organize and mostly automate their business processes, it becomes possible for us to create effective accounting procedures and then develop automation that will run them to ensure that the proper accounting process will be followed every time and minimal manual effort will be needed to administer it. Therefore, upon having studied the client's business, and developed optimal business processes, our Consulting Team designs effective and mostly automatic accounting processes (AR, AP, Payroll, Inventory, etc.) and reporting systems that our Software Team then implements in the customized ERP software solution that we use in the client project.
