Experience Required

• Candidates may have gained the required experience through an in-house finance role, a project or interim assignment, or recent training within an audit firm. Candidates with more limited post-qualification experience will be considered where they demonstrate strong accounting fundamentals, systems aptitude, hands-on delivery capability and readiness to take ownership of assigned project activities.
• Qualified Accountant, for example ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA or an internationally recognised equivalent. The level of post-qualification experience is less important than demonstrable capability, systems aptitude and delivery ownership
• Hands-on and delivery-focused, with the willingness to execute testing, reconciliations and documentation directly rather than operating only in an advisory capacity
• Strong accounting background across areas such as general ledger, month-end close, reconciliations, financial reporting, audit or financial controls
• Practical experience of system testing, test script execution, defect or issue tracking, data validation, reconciliations, process documentation or project delivery
• Ability to investigate Finance system outputs, identify likely root causes and document issues and conclusions clearly
• Experience working across Finance, IT, project teams, external advisers or implementation partners
• Strong Excel skills and confidence analysing accounting and project data
• ERP implementation, finance transformation, UAT, mock conversion, cutover or hypercare experience is advantageous but not essential where the candidate demonstrates the ability to learn quickly
• Oracle ERP or Oracle Fusion experience is preferred; experience with other ERP platforms is also relevant
• SunSystems experience and exposure to multi-entity or regional Finance environments are beneficial
• Proactive, curious and structured, with the confidence to challenge unexpected results and follow actions through to completion
• Able to work effectively in an ambiguous and changing project environment, prioritising competing activities and escalating blockers appropriately
• Clear and practical communicator who can translate Finance requirements and issues into actionable project steps
• Comfortable taking ownership of assigned activities with limited day-to-day supervision
• Strong understanding of core Finance processes, including general ledger, close, reconciliations and reporting, with knowledge of AP, AR, intercompany, fixed assets and cash or bank processes advantageous
• Strong project discipline, including maintenance of test evidence, issue logs, action trackers, decision records and sign-off documentation
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to reconcile system outputs and summarise issues clearly for Finance and project stakeholders
• Strong Excel capability; Power Query, Power BI, Oracle reporting tools or similar data-analysis experience is beneficial
• Understanding of financial controls and the importance of complete, accurate and auditable project evidence
