If by **operations automation** you mean consultants who can actually map processes, redesign them, connect your systems, and deploy AI/workflow automation—not just produce a strategy deck—I’d shortlist these: ### My top picks 1. **Valenta USA — Hoboken** - Strong local option for **operations + process improvement + automation + outsourcing**. - Particularly interesting if you want someone who can both redesign a process and help operate/support it afterward. - 5.0/5 from 15 reviews in the current local listing. 2. **Flow Digital — Brooklyn** - Probably my pick for a **modern, systems-oriented automation partner**. - Focuses on process-first workflow automation across sales, marketing, support, and operations, including fractional automation leadership. - 4.9/5 from 94 reviews locally. 3. **Accelirate, Inc. — Edison** - Best fit for **serious enterprise automation/RPA**. - Strong on RPA, intelligent automation, integrations, and increasingly AI-agent-driven workflows. - Better choice when you're automating complex, high-volume processes rather than a handful of Zapier workflows. 4. **Bpm Research — Hoboken** - Interesting if you need **process architecture and automation strategy**, not merely implementation. - Specializes in BPM, intelligent automation, decision management, and digital transformation. - I'd look at this one if you want someone to first figure out *how the operation should work* before automating it. 5. **DMBA Consulting — Jersey City** - More SMB/mid-market oriented. - Good for **CRM automation, business systems, reporting, AI and workflow automation**. - Potentially a better fit than a large consultancy if you want hands-on implementation. 6. **Ace Workflow — NYC** - Focused specifically on finding manual/error-prone operational processes and rebuilding them using the software you already have. - Appears well suited to **quick, practical workflow projects** rather than giant transformation programs. ### For a large enterprise If you're talking about a $100M+ organization or a major multi-function transformation, I'd move up to **McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Accenture, or Deloitte**. Their operations practices are considerably broader, covering operating-model redesign, supply chain, shared services, process transformation, RPA/AI, etc. [www.icreativez.com](https://www.icreativez.com/categories/business/best-operations-management-services-companies-2026.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) But for a typical company, I **wouldn't automatically hire an MBB/Big Four firm**. Specialized automation firms can be substantially more hands-on and faster; recent industry comparisons specifically emphasize production implementation, security, scalability, and measurable ROI rather than simply consulting brand.

If you mean **business-process automation with Make.com**—CRM, lead follow-up, invoicing, email, forms, AI, reporting, etc.—I’d shortlist these rather than hiring a generic “automation” freelancer. ### My top picks 1. **Flow Digital — best overall for a small business** - Brooklyn-based and focused specifically on business-process/workflow automation. - Uses Make, Zapier and n8n, with a “process first” approach. - Strong fit if you want someone to understand your business first rather than simply build a few scenarios. 2. **DMBA Consulting — good for CRM + marketing + business systems** - Jersey City-based. - Combines business consulting, CRM automation, marketing and technology. - Particularly interesting if your automation involves sales/marketing rather than just back-office workflows. 3. **NextLevel Automations — good for more sophisticated AI automation** - NYC-based. - Better candidate if you're looking for AI agents, custom software, CRM automation or more complicated integrations. ### If you want a *Make-certified* specialist I'd actually start with **Make's official Partner Directory**. Make says its directory partners are certified experts, and you can filter by specialization, country and services. [www.make.com](https://www.make.com/en/partners-directory?utm_source=chatgpt.com) A few interesting certified partners: - **G&H Automation Services** — U.S./Canada, Silver Partner; specializes in advanced Make systems, APIs, JavaScript and custom Make apps, with 500+ active production scenarios. [www.make.com](https://www.make.com/en/partners-directory/gh-automation-services?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - **Automaton** — U.S.; consulting, workflow automation, integrations and Make migrations. [www.make.com](https://www.make.com/en/partners-directory/automaton?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - **Business Automated!** — consulting and workflow automation, with experience across ecommerce, education, construction and other SMB-type businesses.

Don't pay someone to "automate everything" upfront—have them identify the **3–5 workflows with the highest dollar/time payoff** and price those separately. If you tell me **what your business does + the apps you currently use (QuickBooks, HubSpot, Gmail, Shopify, etc.)**, I can narrow this to the **best 2–3 consultants for your exact situation and compare likely cost/value**.
