About Smart Managed Solutions

At Smart Managed Solutions, we deliver innovative and customer-centric facility management services designed to meet the evolving needs of our clients. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a dynamic and results-driven Marketing Coordinator to support our marketing initiatives and help elevate our brand presence across multiple channels.

As we continue our growth trajectory, we are investing in modernising our core systems to support better decision-making, operational efficiency, and financial insight. As part of this strategic initiative, we are implementing EVision - a solution from our current provider Eque2, built on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central platform.

We are now looking for a Finance Systems Accountant to join us at a pivotal time in our journey. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the delivery of the new ERP system and to lead the ongoing evolution of finance systems and data analytics across the business.

Role Overview

The Finance Systems Accountant will support the CFO, the wider finance team, and the EVision project team in the successful delivery and long-term ownership of the new ERP system. You will serve as the primary finance lead for the implementation, guiding system design, data migration, and user training. Post-implementation, you will own the management of the system and lead the development of a new business-wide data analytics solution.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role that requires strong technical acumen, excellent communication skills, and a collaborative, problem-solving approach.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the finance workstream for the EVision implementation project.
• Act as the primary liaison between the finance team and the wider EVision project team.
• Become the internal "super user" and subject matter expert on EVision, providing post-go-live support and optimisation.
• Oversee the migration of financial and operational data to the new system, ensuring accuracy, integrity, and completeness.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external developers to build a business-wide data analytics platform.
• Take ownership of the ongoing development of financial reporting tools, leveraging platforms such as Power BI or Metabase.
• Design and deliver system training for finance and operational teams, ensuring adoption and capability across the business.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve financial processes, workflows, and reporting through system enhancements.
• Support change management and user adoption, including communication, training, and impact assessment.

Candidate Profile

Essential:

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
• Proven experience in implementing ERP systems, ideally Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or EVision.
• Hands-on experience with financial reporting and business intelligence tools such as Power BI or Metabase.
• Strong understanding of data structures, financial processes, and systems integration.
• Demonstrated ability to lead projects, manage stakeholders, and drive change.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills.
• Clear communicator, capable of translating technical concepts into practical solutions.
• Collaborative, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Desirable:

• Experience developing training content and delivering end-user training.
• Experience working in a construction, engineering, or service-based industry (if applicable).
• Familiarity with system administration or basic development concepts for ERP or analytics platforms.

What We Offer

• A unique opportunity to play a critical role in a major systems transformation project.
• Exposure to senior leadership and cross-functional collaboration.
• A forward-thinking, fast-growing business with a strong commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
