The Role

The ELEVATE Accounting Advisor partners with automotive repair clients to assess, improve, and standardize accounting, financial management, and operational processes. As a trusted advisor and project lead, this role helps clients understand their financial performance, identify process gaps, implement best practices, and execute client-specific action plans that drive measurable business outcomes. This role combines hands‑on client engagement, accounting expertise, process optimization, KPI analysis, training, and ongoing performance management. The ELEVATE Accounting Advisor will work directly with clients to evaluate current-state workflows, review financial statements and accounting practices, recommend future‑state improvements, and support sustained adoption of standard operating procedures and business best practices. This position requires the ability to travel to client sites across the United States, with travel expectations of up to 75%.

Key Responsibilities:

Translate financial concepts into clear, practical recommendations for shop owners, leadership teams, and operational managers.

Solution Design & Implementation

Create client-specific project plans, including timelines, milestones, owners, and success metrics. Establish clear goals and performance targets by functional area, role, and process. Deliver and manage monthly action plans to drive progress against defined objectives. Support implementation of standard operating procedures that improve financial visibility, process consistency, accountability, and sustained performance.

Performance Management & Client Delivery

Monitor client progress through regular analysis, reporting, and KPI tracking. Lead monthly insight and action meetings with clients to review performance, financial results, operational challenges, and improvement opportunities. Use data-driven insights to help clients prioritize actions, measure progress, and sustain improvements. Conduct web-based and on‑site training sessions to support process adoption, financial understanding, and operational execution. Drive adoption and utilization of relevant CCC solutions and business tools that support client performance and visibility.

Stakeholder Communication & Coordination

Communicate project status, risks, key findings, and recommendations to internal account teams, ELEVATE leadership, and client stakeholders. Partner cross-functionally to ensure alignment on client goals, project priorities, financial improvement opportunities, and business outcomes. Manage and resolve implementation-related issues in a timely and effective manner. Present financial and operational insights clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

Continuous Improvement & Documentation

Conduct post‑implementation reviews with internal and external stakeholders to evaluate outcomes and identify ongoing improvement opportunities. Develop and maintain ELEVATE accounting materials, including playbooks, current/future-state workflows, action plans, training resources, and client‑facing deliverables. Support customer retention and renewal through sustained performance improvement, value realization, and ongoing advisory engagement.
