Remote work

Job summary

Voyage Advisory LLC is seeking a seasoned Business Systems Analyst Consultant with a strong finance/accounting background to own BA work, lead requirements, and bridge business needs with vendors and technical teams. This remote role emphasizes process mapping, GAAP, and transforming accounting systems.

The ideal candidate will have 5–10 years of finance/BA experience, strong communication skills, and a proven track record in UAT and system implementations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in accounting (or closely related field); CPA a plus, not required.
• 5-10 years of Business Systems Analysis experience, with clear personal ownership of BA work — not primarily an IT, technical coordination, reporting, or systems-support role.
• Strong finance knowledge and a working knowledge of GAAP standards.
• Direct, hands-on experience with multiple core accounting processes, such as AR (invoicing, cash application), AP (vendor invoices/payments), reconciliations, order-to-cash, or month-end close (journal entries, accruals, financial reporting support).
• Experience supporting accounting transformation or system implementations, with a clearly defined personal role (e.g., new GL or billing system implementation, process documentation, testing coordination, data conversion validation).
• Demonstrated experience representing business users to vendors or technical teams — clarifying business needs, translating requirements, reviewing proposed solutions, and constructively pushing back when a solution doesn't meet the business need.
• Experience with core BA deliverables: current/future-state process maps, user stories, acceptance criteria, business requirements documents (BRDs), design specs, and training materials.
• Hands-on involvement in UAT and business validation — writing or reviewing test scripts, coordinating UAT sessions, documenting defects, validating data, and helping obtain business sign-off.
• Business Systems Analysis experience in the insurance industry a plus.
• Process flow diagramming experience; MS Visio experience preferred.
• Six Sigma and process standardization/improvement experience a plus.
• Strong facilitation skills, and solid verbal and written communication skills — able to speak to specific, concrete examples rather than general or theoretical descriptions.
• Strong Word and PowerPoint skills.
• Strong Excel skills, including familiarity working with large datasets and pulling useful insights out of them.
• Strong relationship-building skills between internal customers, vendors, and employees.
• Client-facing experience.

Responsibilities

• Interview stakeholders from different profit centers to identify current-state finance workflows.
• Review workflows including invoicing, cash application, AR processing, AP procurement and management, monthly close and reporting, treasury management, etc.
• Lead requirements gathering and elicitation sessions and document and gain sign-off on business requirements.
• Represent business/finance stakeholders in discussions with vendors and technical teams — translating business needs, reviewing proposed solutions, and confirming solutions meet the business requirement.
• Support accounting transformations and system implementations (e.g., new GL or billing system rollouts, data conversions), including documenting process changes and coordinating testing.
• Participate in user acceptance testing and business validation: helping business users understand what to test, validating converted or reconciled data, documenting issues, and tracking them through resolution to sign-off.
