You will own migration of open items and balances, assure bank connectivity and compliance (BACS, SEPA, SWIFT), and validate integration with Procurement and OTC.

• Govern Finance testing cycles (SIT, UAT, regression) with focus on end-to-end payment assurance.
• Lead cutover activities, ensuring zero disruption to supplier or customer payments at go-live.
• Provide parallel run evidence and reconciliations to meet audit and compliance standards.
• Mentor junior consultants and provide knowledge transfer to client Finance teams.

Experience & Skills Required

• Proven track record delivering AR/AP solutions in S/4HANA programmes.
• Deep knowledge of vendor/customer accounting, invoice processing, payment runs, and dunning.
• Strong experience with bank connectivity and formats (BACS, SEPA, SWIFT, XML).
• Familiarity with indirect tax, withholding tax, and compliance/audit reporting.
• Integration awareness across AP ↔ Procurement and AR ↔ OTC.
• Ability to manage open item migration, reconciliations, and cutover assurance.
• Experience in regulated industries (Defence, Government, Pharma, FS) desirable.

Tools & Methodologies

• SAP S/4HANA FI-AR/AP, Bank Communication Management (BCM), Treasury integration.
• SAP DRC for e-invoicing / statutory compliance.
• SAP Activate methodology, agile delivery frameworks.
• Solution Manager, JIRA, Confluence, Signavio for governance.
• Tricentis qTest/Tosca or HP ALM for testing.

Qualifications

• Degree in Finance, Accounting, or IT.
• SAP Certification in Financial Accounting desirable.
• Accounting qualifications (ACCA, CPA, CIMA) an advantage.

Stakeholder & Soft Skills

• Strong client-facing skills, able to engage confidently with Finance, Procurement, and Treasury.
• Skilled in leading workshops and achieving consensus with senior stakeholders.
