ABOUT THE COMPANY

At Current, everything starts with people. We partner with leading accounting firms across the United States, bringing them together through a shared platform that supports their growth while preserving the local identities and client relationships that make each firm unique. Our partner firms combine the close connections of a local team with the resources of a national community, giving professionals access to broader career opportunities, learning, collaboration, and innovative technology. Whether you join Current or one of our partner firms, you’ll be part of a connected team investing in your development and shaping the future of accounting.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is a key executive leader responsible for building the “firm of the future” — combining best-in-class professional services operations with process engineering, data/AI enablement, and modern technology to deliver a step-change in client experience, margin, and scalability.

This is a hands-on operator who can:

- Translate strategy into operating cadence, measurable outcomes, and sustained execution

- Engineer and standardize end-to-end workflows across service lines

- Lead technology-enabled transformation (AI, automation, workflow, data, client-facing platforms)

- Influence partners and senior stakeholders through change while strengthening culture and client trust

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

OPERATING MODEL & PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP

- Own firmwide operations across offices and functions; ensure consistent execution and a high-accountability culture.

- Establish an operating cadence: weekly metrics reviews, monthly business reviews, quarterly planning, and clear ownership of initiatives.

- Define and manage KPIs that matter (capacity utilization, cycle time, SLA adherence, quality/rework, realization, NPS/CSAT, talent retention).

- Identify constraints to growth and remove bottlenecks through systems, process, and org design.

TRANSFORMATION, PROCESS ENGINEERING & CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

- Map and redesign end-to-end workflows (onboarding → delivery → review → billing → renewal) with a focus on speed, quality, and scalability.

- Build a lean/process-improvement capability inside the firm (standards, playbooks, training, continuous improvement loops).

- Standardize SOPs, templates, and controls to ensure quality and compliance while enabling delegation/offshoring where appropriate.

TECHNOLOGY & AI ENABLEMENT

- Partner with leadership to define a practical tech roadmap (workflow tools, practice management, document management, data platforms, client portals, AI copilots/agents).

- Lead change management for technology adoption: pilot, measure, refine, and scale.

- Establish governance for AI use (risk, privacy, compliance, review controls) in collaboration with Risk/Compliance and IT.

- Drive automation of routine work and elevate the team to higher-value advisory activities.

STAKEHOLDER LEADERSHIP & CHANGE MANAGEMENT

- Serve as a trusted advisor to partners and practice leaders; influence without relying on authority.

- Align cross-functional teams (Tax, Audit/Assurance, CAS, Advisory, Client Service, HR, IT, Finance) around shared outcomes.

- Communicate clearly and consistently: what is changing, why, when, and how success will be measured.

- Reinforce a culture of excellence, learning, innovation, and client-first delivery.

TALENT, ORGANIZATION & SHARED SERVICES

- Build and develop a high-performing operations leadership bench (ops, client service operations, PMO, enablement).

- Partner with HR to design scalable org structures, role clarity, performance systems, and training.

- Oversee shared services and operational infrastructure (HR Ops, IT Ops, Finance Ops, Admin) as applicable; ensure service levels and reliability.

INTEGRATION (AS RELEVANT)

- Support integration of acquired practices into the flagship operating model (process, technology, operating cadence, and culture).

- Create repeatable integration playbooks and “day 1 → day 90” execution plans.

IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE

- 12+ years of operational leadership in professional services (accounting, consulting, legal, or adjacent), with responsibility for multi-team execution.

- Proven track record leading technology-enabled transformation (workflow modernization, automation, data/analytics, AI enablement).

- Strong process engineering mindset (Lean/Six Sigma or equivalent experience welcomed but not required).

- Able to operate at both executive altitude (strategy, stakeholder influence) and in the details (process mapping, metrics, adoption).

- Demonstrated ability to lead change in partner-led or matrixed environments.

- Excellent communication, facilitation, and conflict navigation skills.

- High judgment around risk, quality, and compliance in regulated professional services.

PREFERRED (NOT REQUIRED)

- Experience in PE-backed platforms, roll-ups, or multi-site professional services organizations

- Experience building a delivery model that uses shared services / global delivery effectively

- CPA, MBA, or other relevant credential

WORKING STYLE

- Results-first, metric-driven operator who builds durable systems

- Comfortable in ambiguity; can structure problems and drive execution

- Collaborative, low-ego leader who raises the bar while bringing people along

- Curious and pragmatic about AI and technology — focused on adoption and outcomes, not hype

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (12–24 MONTHS)

- Core delivery workflows are documented, measured, continuously improved, and scalable across offices

- The firm operates with clear operating metrics and predictable throughput (capacity, cycle time, quality)

- AI/automation is embedded into daily work in a controlled, compliant way — improving quality and freeing capacity

- Client experience is measurably stronger (responsiveness, proactive insights, consistency)

- A repeatable operating model is established and ready to export to other firms

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
