Location: Remote
Contract Rate: $80/hour (1099 Independent Contractor)
Contract Duration: 6 months with possible extension

About the Contract Engagement
MAC provides bookkeeping and accounting services to hundreds of Texas municipal utility districts (MUDs) and special governmental districts. We are replacing our legacy bookkeeping systems with a purpose-built accounting platform from scratch.

MAC is seeking an experienced Contract Business Analyst with advanced accounting expertise and a strong background in evaluating, implementing, and optimizing enterprise financial software technology and systems. You will partner closely with our Business Process Owner to understand the daily operations of our internal bookkeeping teams, translating those insights into clear, actionable specifications and requirements to support development of a top-tier accounting software system.

Scope of Services

Map & Document Workflows: Partner with bookkeepers and managers to dissect and document current "as-is" workflows and design future "to-be" processes.
Own the Requirements: Author comprehensive Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), mapping out financial rules, internal controls, and exceptions.
Drive Quality Assurance: Draft test plans and cases, execute functional testing, and methodically track software defects.
Lead UAT: Coordinate and facilitate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) directly with business users to ensure readiness.
Bridge the Gap: Act as the primary liaison to our in-house development team, clarifying requirements and ensuring technical alignment with business goals.

Professional Qualifications

Core Accounting Expertise: A solid foundational understanding of the general ledger, fund accounting, AP/AR, and complex bank reconciliations.
Implementation Track Record: Direct experience working on the functional/business side of an accounting system or ERP implementation, migration, or custom build.
Artifact Ownership: Proven capability creating clean, thorough BRDs, process flow diagrams, and test scripts from scratch.
Consultative Communication: Strong facilitation and documentation skills, with the confidence to professionally challenge the status quo ("that's how we've always done it").

Requirements

Native English proficiency
US work authorization and residency
5+ years of experience writing business requirements for financial accounting systems/processes

Nice to Have

Municipal, governmental or special district accounting (MUD experience is a big plus)
CPA license or an undergraduate degree in Accounting/Finance
QuickBooks Desktop experience
Experience in AP/payment automation, document management systems, or automated approval workflows
