• Configure enrichment stages, mapping tables, and journal header/line rules to transform high-volume business events into detailed and summarized journals; ensure correct multi-currency precision.
• Support the full Accounting Center lifecycle — discovery, build, batch processing, troubleshooting, error handling, and reconciliation — with a clear understanding of the accounting implications of the data being transformed, while maintaining full data lineage from journal back to source.
• Mentor junior consultants, suggest tool/process enhancements to benefit the practice, and rotate through Consulting and AMS delivery, meeting defined SLAs.
