• Supporting finance process mapping and improvements across areas such as P2P, O2R, R2R, forecasting, and project accounting.
• Assisting with user acceptance testing (UAT), system testing, and issue resolution activities
• Supporting data migration validation, reconciliation, and cutover activities
• Helping drive user adoption and supporting finance teams through new ways of working
• Providing training and guidance to finance users during and after implementation
• Supporting system configuration discussions and helping translate finance requirements into functional solution
• Assisting with financial systems administration, controls, and process documentation
• Working closely with stakeholders to manage expectations and ensure smooth delivery across the programme
• Creating and maintaining clear process documentation, SOPs, and training materials
• Supporting ongoing system improvements and finance transformation activities throughout the programme

What we’re looking for:

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA / CIPFA)
• Previous experience supporting ERP or finance systems implementations within a finance environment
• Strong understanding of finance processes including P2P, R2R, management reporting, forecasting, and controls
• Experience working closely with finance users, IT teams, and third-party implementation partners
• Experience supporting testing, training, user adoption, or finance transformation activities
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Strong Excel and financial systems experience
• Able to balance both technical finance understanding and business partnering capability

Nice to have:

• Previous exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations
• Experience working within large-scale finance transformation programmes
• Experience supporting system migrations, upgrades, or multi-system environments
• Exposure to data migration, reconciliations, or cutover planning activities
• Experience within membership, not-for-profit, charity, or regulated environments

This is an excellent opportunity to join a large-scale finance transformation programme where you’ll play a key role in helping deliver a major ERP implementation and support the successful adoption of new finance systems and processes across the organisation.
