• Managing data reconciliation and system interlocks to maintain consistency and accuracy across financial platforms.

This role requires a proactive approach, strong analytical skills, and a keen interest in using technology to enhance financial processes. Working in a fast-paced, project-based environment, you will contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of management accounting processes and experience working with finance systems.
• Proven experience in technology-driven finance transformation, including UAT, system reconciliations, and financial reporting improvements.

• Highly proficient in:
• Microsoft Excel (including macros, tables, lookups, and array formulas).
• NetSuite (or experience driving adoption of financial systems).
• Knowledge and experience of FP&A processes and systems. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across finance and non-finance teams and manage multiple priorities effectively in a project-based environment.
• A proactive and structured problem solver with strong attention to detail, ensuring high-quality outputs and continuous improvement.

At Civica, we're passionate about innovation and the impact technology can have on financial operations. If you're looking to leverage your finance expertise in a systems-driven role, this is your opportunity to contribute to meaningful change, develop your skills, and grow your career within a dynamic organisation.
