Job description

Manager, Financial Systems & Solutions (FSS)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Reports To: Director, Financial Systems & Solutions

Team: 6-person Financial Systems & Solutions team

About the Opportunity

Our client is seeking a Financial Systems & Solutions Specialist to serve as the finance lead for strategic business initiatives, including acquisitions, ERP transformations, business expansions, and process modernization efforts across the Americas.

This is a highly visible individual contributor role that sits at the intersection of finance, accounting, ERP systems, manufacturing operations, and project leadership. The successful candidate will act as the primary finance representative for post-acquisition integrations and large-scale business initiatives, ensuring financial processes, transaction flows, controls, and ERP systems are successfully integrated into the organization's operating model.

This is not a traditional accounting role focused on month-end close and it is not an M&A deal execution role. Instead, this position focuses heavily on post-acquisition integration, ERP implementation and migration projects, finance transformation, and process improvement.

Key Responsibilities

Post-Merger Integration & Business Expansion

• Lead finance and accounting integration activities for newly acquired businesses.
• Serve as the finance point of contact during acquisitions, expansions, and strategic growth initiatives.
• Assess acquired companies' financial processes, ERP environments, chart of accounts structures, transaction flows, and accounting practices.
• Partner with stakeholders across Finance, IT, Operations, Supply Chain, and external consultants to develop and execute integration strategies.
• Create and manage integration roadmaps, milestones, and readiness activities.
• Define ERP conversion, mapping, and migration requirements.
• Support stabilization efforts following acquisitions and system transitions.
• Ensure acquired entities comply with company financial standards, controls, and reporting requirements.

ERP Systems & Finance Transformation

• Support ERP implementation, migration, enhancement, and optimization efforts.
• Evaluate and redesign transaction flows across:
• General Ledger (GL)
• Accounts Payable (AP)
• Accounts Receivable (AR)
• Revenue Recognition
• Cost Accounting
• Intercompany Accounting
• Translate accounting and operational requirements into ERP solutions.
• Partner with IT and external implementation teams on system design and configuration decisions.
• Participate in data conversion, testing, deployment, and go-live activities.
• Execute User Acceptance Testing (UAT), validation, and cutover support.

Manufacturing Finance & Process Improvement

• Investigate and resolve finance and accounting issues resulting from ERP configurations or process gaps.
• Analyze transaction flows from initiation through financial reporting.
• Support manufacturing and operational accounting processes, including cost accounting and inventory-related transactions.
• Drive improvements that increase automation, scalability, internal controls, and operational efficiency.
• Develop process documentation, SOPs, BRDs, FRDs, control narratives, and workflow diagrams.
• Manage ServiceNow tickets and support requests tied to finance systems activities.

Cross-Functional Project Leadership

• Manage multiple concurrent projects and integration workstreams.
• Maintain project plans, risks, timelines, ownership, and status updates within Smartsheet.
• Support internal and external audit activities.
• Assist with reporting, reconciliations, KPI development, and data governance initiatives.
• Communicate project status and integration readiness to leadership teams.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in Accounting, Finance, Financial Systems, Finance Transformation, or ERP-related roles.
• Strong accounting and finance foundation with the ability to understand complete transaction flows through ERP systems.
• Experience supporting at least one ERP implementation, migration, conversion, integration, or significant system enhancement.
• Experience working within manufacturing, industrial, or product-based environments.
• Strong project management and organizational skills.
• Ability to independently troubleshoot, investigate, and solve complex financial and system-related issues.
• Experience partnering across Finance, Accounting, Operations, and IT teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting post-merger integration activities.
