About Us

Enkel is a cloud-based accounting and financial operations firm serving growing businesses and not-for-profits across Canada.

Our mission is simple: deliver accurate, timely, and decision-ready financials so our clients can build stronger organizations.

We believe financial operations should do more than support compliance. They should help leaders make better decisions, move faster, and scale with confidence.

Our team combines operational expertise with technology to deliver bookkeeping, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and financial reporting services at a high level. We move fast, embrace innovation, and continuously improve how we work.

Now, we are building the next evolution of financial operations through AI.

We are investing heavily in AI agents, workflow automation, and intelligent systems that can transform how finance operations are delivered. Our goal is to build a digital workforce that improves speed, quality, scalability, and client experience across the organization.

This is where you come in.

The Role

We are hiring a AI Automation & Digital Workforce Specialist to lead the design and implementation of AI agents across our operations.

You will work closely with operations leaders, finance teams, and leadership to identify inefficiencies, redesign workflows, and build intelligent agents that improve speed, accuracy, quality, and scalability.

This is a highly strategic and hands-on role.

You will need to understand both:

• How AI agents and automation systems are built
• How operational finance workflows function in the real world

The right person is equally comfortable discussing:

• Agent orchestration frameworks
• Accounting workflows
• Prompt engineering
• Process bottlenecks
• APIs and integrations
• Human-in-the-loop systems
• Operational quality metrics

You are not just building automations.

You are building digital employees.

What You’ll Do

Build AI Agents & Digital Workers

• Design and deploy AI agents for bookkeeping, payroll, reconciliations, month-end close, reporting, and financial operations workflows
• Create intelligent systems capable of performing multi-step operational tasks with human oversight where required
• Develop AI workflows that continuously improve through operational feedback and learning loops

Understand & Re-engineer Processes

• Work closely with operational teams to deeply understand existing workflows
• Identify inefficiencies, repetitive tasks, bottlenecks, and quality gaps
• Redesign processes using AI, automation, orchestration tools, and intelligent workflow systems

Integrate Systems & Tools

• Build integrations across platforms including:
  • QuickBooks Online
  • Xero
  • Dext
  • Plooto
  • Karbon
  • Internal operational systems
• Work with APIs, automation platforms, workflow tools, and LLM-based systems

Build Operational AI Infrastructure

• Create frameworks for:
  • Agent monitoring
  • Escalation management
  • Audit trails
  • Quality assurance
  • Workflow orchestration
  • Exception handling
• Ensure AI systems are scalable, secure, reliable, and production-ready

Drive AI Adoption Across Enkel

• Partner with leadership and operations teams to prioritize automation opportunities
• Help operational teams adopt AI-enabled workflows
• Contribute to Enkel’s long-term AI and operational technology strategy

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

• 5 to 10 years of experience in software engineering, AI systems, automation, or related technical fields
• Strong experience building AI agents, intelligent automations, or workflow orchestration systems
• Experience working with APIs, integrations, and operational software platforms
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and agent frameworks
• Strong systems thinking and process design capabilities
• Ability to translate operational problems into scalable technical solutions

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience in bookkeeping, accounting operations, payroll, or FinOps environments
• Experience with tools such as QBO, Xero, Dext, Karbon, Plooto, Zapier, Make, UiPath, LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI APIs, Claude, or similar ecosystems
• Experience building human-in-the-loop AI systems
• Experience scaling operational automation within service businesses

What Makes Someone Successful Here

You:

• Think in systems, workflows, and operational scale
• Are obsessed with efficiency and continuous improvement
• Enjoy solving messy operational problems
• Care deeply about quality and reliability
• Can simplify complexity into practical solutions
• Are curious enough to learn accounting operations even if you do not come from finance
• Move quickly and build iteratively
• Understand that small operational improvements compound into massive business impact over time

You are the kind of person who looks at a repetitive operational workflow and immediately thinks: “This should be automated.”
