SW England - 3 days a week in office

An exciting opportunity has arisen with a fast-growing, international cloud finance software company for an Implementation Consultant with a strong understanding of finance business processes and a passion for applying technology to solve real customer problems.

This is a hands on, client facing role within the Consulting team, combining finance expertise, system learning, process improvement, configuration, training and problem solving to deliver software implementations and ongoing support for a wide range of customers.

Strong candidates may come from accounting, finance systems, financial control, finance transformation or business partnering backgrounds. The role would particularly suit someone with Financial Controller-level experience, or someone who has become the go to person for improving finance processes, investigating system issues and leading change. Experience in property, financial services or adjacent sectors is a plus. There are clear development pathways into Consulting seniority, Solutions (pre sales), or Product Management.

• Manage the implementation of the platform for new customers - design, configuration, testing, training and go live support.
• Lead finance and business process workshops with customers, including senior stakeholders.
• Translate client needs into practical system solutions, and advise customers through process change.
• Collaborate with the project management team and resource manager to deliver projects on time and on budget.
• Support live customers with ad hoc consultancy throughout their customer journey.
• Troubleshoot system, configuration, process and data issues in a structured, clearly communicated way.
• Lead data migration, reconciliation, UAT and go live readiness activity.
• Manage third party and customer side relationships across all levels of seniority.
• Support pre sales efforts - solution scoping, demonstrations and proposal input - where finance or sector expertise adds value.
• Willingness to travel is essential.

• At least part qualified accountant (AAT, ACCA, or CIMA).
• Practical experience in a finance, accounting, finance systems or ERP implementation role.
• Strong understanding of core finance and business processes.
• Evidence of improving finance processes, implementing systems, acting as a system super user, or contributing to finance transformation.
• Ability to learn unfamiliar systems independently and form practical recommendations.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills, including explaining finance/system topics to non specialists.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel.

• Financial Controller, Systems Accountant, Finance Systems Analyst, Senior Finance Business Partnering or Finance Transformation experience.
• ERP implementation experience (e.g. Unit4/Agresso, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite, Oracle or similar), as consultant or in house.
• Experience as an internal ERP super user, process owner, UAT lead or implementation partner point of contact.
• Experience in property, financial services or adjacent sectors.
• Practical experience across management/financial accounting, project accounting/billing, multi currency reporting, multi company consolidation, or purchasing/stock accounting.
• Pre sales, solution scoping, demonstration or proposal experience.
