CLA is currently seeking an experienced Consulting Director - Acumatica to join our growing CLA Digital Team. This role is for an individual to join our growing team to help scope, discover, design, build, train and test Acumatica Implementations for clients of the firm. The ideal candidate will bring passion and enthusiasm to the team as we work with a variety of new and existing Acumatica clients to build solutions to support their business needs.

Role Summary

You're an experienced Acumatica consultant who loves solving real business problems, partnering with clients, and continuously leveling up your craft. We're looking for someone with at least six years of handson Acumatica product experience, ideally in manufacturing (or construction as a strong alternative), who can independently lead projects while thriving as part of a collaborative, people‑first team.

This role blends functional expertise, technical capability, and operational + accounting understanding. But above all, we care about personality fit, humility, curiosity, and a genuine desire to work as a team.

What You'll Do

• Lead implementations of Acumatica across manufacturing or construction clients, from discovery through go‑live
• Design solutions that align with client workflows, industry best practices, and Acumatica capabilities
• Support and troubleshoot complex functional and technical issues across modules
• Translate business requirements into clear functional specs, technical tasks, and configuration plans
• Collaborate with internal consultants, developers, and project managers to deliver high‑quality outcomes
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to internal knowledge sharing
• Stay current with Acumatica releases, new features, and industry trends
• Build strong, trust‑based relationships with clients through communication, empathy, and reliability

What You Bring

• 6+ years of handson Acumatica experience across implementation, support, and solution design
• Strong background in manufacturing (preferred) or construction (acceptable)
• Proven ability to work both independently and as a collaborative team member
• Experience across both functional and technical areas, including:
  • Accounting workflows
  • Operational processes
  • System configuration
  • Light customization or development understanding
• Acumatica badges/certifications (or a willingness to earn and maintain them)
• A mindset of continuous learning, curiosity, and adaptability
• Excellent communication skills and a personality that values teamwork, humility, and shared success

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• A culture built on collaboration, respect, and continuous improvement
• Freedom to work autonomously while being supported by a strong, experienced team
• Opportunities to grow into leadership, architecture, or specialized industry roles
• A people‑first environment where personality, integrity, and teamwork matter as much as skill

What you will need

• 6 years of experience developing and implementing business software technology solutions is required - 8 years is preferred
• Overall experience must also include 3 years of supervisory or project management experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field required (combination of education, experience, and training may be considered a degree equivalent)
• 6+ years of handson Acumatica experience across implementation, support, and solution design
• Strong background in manufacturing (preferred) or construction (acceptable)
• Proven ability to work both independently and as a collaborative team member
• Experience across both functional and technical areas, including:
  • Accounting workflows
  • Operational processes
  • System configuration
  • Light customization or development understanding
• Acumatica badges/certifications (or a willingness to earn and maintain them)
• A mindset of continuous learning, curiosity, and adaptability
• Excellent communication skills and a personality that values teamwork, humility, and shared success

Nice to Have

• Experience with manufacturing workflows such as MRP, production orders, BOM/routing
• Experience with construction modules such as project accounting, compliance, and field service
• Background in process improvement, change management, or ERP best practices
• Ability to translate between technical and nontechnical stakeholders
