  • Order‑to‑Cash (accounts receivable and billing, including use of the RAR module)
  • Fixed Assets, intercompany, and cost accounting
• Translate accounting standards, internal controls, and compliance requirements into system and process designs.
• Identify opportunities to improve finance processes through enhanced system usage and automation.
• Perform data reviews within SAP finance applications to ensure transactions successfully complete end‑to‑end processing, including identifying and resolving incomplete, stranded, or unposted items.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2–4 years of experience supporting finance organization back‑office systems, preferably within a large, multinational environment.
• Experience working with SAP‑based finance systems.
