• Accounting & Controllership Foundation: A robust, non‑negotiable understanding of corporate financial close cycles, multi‑entity accounting consolidation, and corporate reporting structures.

• Rapidly analyze, diagnose, and resolve complex BPC application bugs, data discrepancies, and workflow failures.
• Prioritize and manage system incident resolutions under tight deadlines aligned with critical month‑end close, quarterly forecasting, and annual reporting timelines.
• Support, modify, and enhance BPC Consolidation reporting pipelines, including Audit, Management, and Ad‑Hoc leadership reporting.
• Validate consolidated financial results for absolute accuracy and completeness before final closing window.
• Partner with Corporate Accounting to scale, clean, and enhance complex reporting structures, account hierarchies, and cost centers.

Business Analysis & Data Integrity

• Gather, document, and translate complex business needs from accountants into clear, actionable technical functional specifications for IT developers.
• Support end‑to‑end system testing, including System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to validate financial data integrity.
• Perform meticulous data reconciliations between BPC, SAP S/4HANA, and adjacent financial data warehouses to maintain consistent financial master data.

SAP Group Reporting Transition Support

• Provide critical BPC domain expertise during global design and gap‑analysis discussion.
• Thoroughly document current‑state legacy processes, data models, and old reporting structures to ensure no data is lost during the migration.
• Actively participate in the testing, verification, and balance reconciliation efforts during the migration from legacy BPC Consolidation to SAP Group Reporting.
