Our client, a prominent financial institution, is seeking a highly analytical Financial Data Consultant to contribute to a critical initiative aimed at assessing and streamlining the existing General Ledger (GL) hierarchy. This is a six-month contract opportunity focused on comparing current financial reporting practices under both IFRS and US GAAP with how data is organized within the GL environment. The successful candidate will play a key role in identifying discrepancies, mapping differences, and supporting long-term transformation efforts as the organization moves away from legacy systems toward a modern ERP/GL platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyze the current structure and flow of GL entries, with a focus on compliance with IFRS and US GAAP reporting frameworks.
• Review and document existing financial reporting processes and align them with the underlying GL structure.
• Detect inconsistencies, gaps, and misalignments in the data mapping, and recommend appropriate corrective actions.
• Collaborate closely with finance, external reporting, and technical teams to ensure consistency between GL data and financial reporting outputs.
• Support changes across approximately 10,000 GL accounts, taking into account hierarchy complexity and downstream dependencies.
• Assist with change management related to the restructuring of the S4 hierarchy.
• Develop comprehensive mapping documentation, maintain change logs, and conduct impact assessments.
• Utilize Excel (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, etc.) for data reconciliation and detailed analysis.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience in financial data mapping, hierarchy structuring, or reporting alignment within banking or large enterprise settings.
• Familiarity with financial reporting under IFRS and US GAAP; solid accounting knowledge is essential.
• Strong Excel proficiency, including use of VLOOKUPs and pivot tables.
• Experience with SAP S4/HANA is highly desirable.
• Strong analytical mindset and meticulous attention to detail.
• Comfortable navigating large, complex data sets and extracting actionable insights.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Self-motivated, with the ability to work collaboratively across departments.

Preferred Experience:

• Previous involvement in GL hierarchy redesign or external reporting transformation initiatives.
• Understanding of financial systems and reporting tools used in banking environments.
• Knowledge of change management best practices within financial or regulatory contexts.
