Ready to join a team where innovation meets collaboration? If you're driven by bold ideas and a customer-centric mentality, your next adventure starts here!

We are seeking a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Financial Consolidation to play a pivotal advisory role in the development of our financial consolidation application. Reporting directly to the Product Manager, the SME will provide expert-level guidance to ensure the solution meets the highest standards of accounting, compliance, performance, and user experience.

You will serve as a critical functional voice in our product development lifecycle—translating consolidation and reporting requirements into system design and contributing to the roadmap of a product built to serve complex, multinational environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the functional authority for the design of our financial consolidation engine and related components.
• Advise on IFRS and/or US GAAP-based consolidation logic: intercompany eliminations, multi-tier structures, FX translation, minority interests, and statutory reporting.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define user stories, data models, and workflows aligned with consolidation best practices.
• Review and validate calculations, posting logic, and consolidation outputs to ensure financial accuracy and audit readiness.
• Contribute to test plans and functional documentation, and participate in solution design reviews.
• Bring in market insights, competitive benchmarks, and client feedback to refine feature prioritization.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in group financial consolidation, either in a corporate setting or as a consultant.
• Deep knowledge of USGAAP and IFRS, understanding of regulatory reporting and compliance requirements.
• Hands-on exposure to consolidation software such as Board, SAP BPC, Oracle FCCS, HFM, Tagetik, OneStream, etc.
• Familiarity with the architecture of financial systems, including chart of accounts design, multi-currency logic, and integration principles.
• Strong communication skills to work cross-functionally between product, engineering, and finance teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience as a functional lead in finance software development projects.
• Educational background in Accounting, Finance, or Information Systems.
• Knowledge of agile methodologies is a plus.
