  • Support data migration by validating the completeness and accuracy of financial data.
  • Participate in system testing and user acceptance activities to ensure end-to-end financial processes perform as intended.
  • Assist in documenting policies, procedures, and internal controls related to the new system.
  • Ensure the ERP configuration aligns with GAAP, SOX, and internal control frameworks.
  • Collaborate with internal teams, external advisors, and audit partners to validate system compliance and appropriate ITGCs.
  • Identify financial reporting risks and recommend enhancements to strengthen internal controls.
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to identify opportunities to automate or streamline manual accounting and reporting processes.
  • Provide input on process-automation initiatives aimed at improving accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
  • Deliver ongoing guidance and support to Finance and Accounting team members as they transition to the new ERP environment.
  • Assist with change management and user adoption across the broader Finance organization.
  • Perform additional responsibilities as needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline; advanced degree or relevant certifications a plus.
  • A combination of education and experience will be considered.
  • Approximately 15+ years of progressive accounting experience, including significant experience within a publicly traded, highly regulated environment.
  • Prior involvement in ERP implementation or transformation initiatives, ideally with hands-on support from an Accounting/Finance perspective.
  • Strong technical expertise in U.S. GAAP, internal controls, financial reporting, and SOX compliance.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive process improvements and automation within Finance and Accounting operations.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder-management skills.
