About the Role

We are hiring a senior finance and accounting leader to become the domain authority on a major agentic AI and automation program inside a global marketing services group. You will not run a ledger. You will sit alongside the client’s transformation and controllership leadership, find the finance processes where agents and automation create genuine P&L value, prove the case in numbers, and keep a validated pipeline ahead of a multi-country delivery team. This is a client advisory role first and a delivery role second.

Our client is a publicly traded, digital-first global marketing network: more than 50 agency partners, over 13,000 specialists, operations across 40 countries, and revenue of approximately $2.9 billion. That federated structure produces finance and accounting complexity at scale. Many legal entities and ledgers, high-volume intercompany activity, project and job-level accounting, pass-through and media billing, and a monthly close that spans multiple agencies, currencies, and jurisdictions.

TQA has delivered automation for this client for more than nine months. The program is now moving from opportunistic quick wins to a curated, value-led pipeline delivered through dedicated pods. The constraint is finance domain judgment at the top of the funnel. The client’s transformation leadership cannot be in every finance conversation, so opportunities go unqualified and skilled delivery capacity waits on work that has not been validated or standardized.

This role closes that gap. You become the finance and accounting voice inside the program: the person in the room when agency and shared services teams talk about how work actually gets done, the person who recognizes where an agent beats a rule-based robot, and the person who hands delivery a backlog that is quantified, standardized, and ready to build.
Key Responsibilities
Advise the client, proactively

-
Act as the trusted finance and accounting advisor to the client’s transformation, controllership, and shared services leadership. Bring a point of view rather than waiting for a brief.

-
Represent the automation and AI agenda in agency and functional meetings where the client’s transformation team cannot be present. Act as their proxy and their advocate.

-
Challenge process design before automating it. Recommend standardization, control improvement, or retirement so that the program automates a good process rather than an efficient bad one.

-
Build relationships across the agency network so that finance leaders bring opportunities to you directly.

Own the pipeline and the value case

-
Identify, qualify, size, and sequence candidate processes across record to report, order to cash, purchase to pay, close and consolidation, intercompany, and management reporting.

-
Quantify each candidate: current effort and cost, target state, expected benefit, control impact, and payback. Present it in language a CFO organization accepts.

-
Keep a validated backlog running ahead of delivery capacity so that architects, analysts, and developers are never waiting on undefined work.

-
Decide, with the client, what to automate now, what to standardize first, and where an agentic solution is the right answer rather than traditional automation.

Shape solutions and assure delivery

-
Partner with solution architects and business analysts to turn finance process knowledge into agentic and
