Finance Systems Analyst

About the Opportunity
Join a well-established business making a genuine difference in the community. This is a newly created 12-month contract for a systems-focused Finance professional, supporting a business currently undergoing a major systems transformation. You'll bring experience in finance systems, testing and continuous improvement, and enjoy working in a fast-changing, hands-on environment. 

Key Responsibilities:
Some of the areas you will be overseeing on a day to day basis are:

• System administration - support access enquiries across ERP and finance related systems, administer user access and security roles, and become the go-to for Finance system related enquiries.
• Maintain master data integrity within finance systems and lead data cleansing initiatives.
• Coordinate UAT testing cycles for upgrades, patches and new releases, including developing test plans, coordinating business testers and managing defect resolution through to sign-off.
• Configure and maintain core ERP modules (GL, AP, AR, Bank Services), including chart of accounts, tax settings and posting rules.
• Act as the main conduit between Finance and Technology, translating accounting requirements into technical solutions.
• Troubleshoot issues and manage escalations with internal stakeholders, performing root-cause analysis and implementing permanent fixes.
• Support month-end, quarter-end and year-end close activities from a systems perspective.
• Produce clear documentation including configuration records, process maps and change logs.

The ideal candidate:

• Demonstrated experience in a finance systems, systems analyst or business systems support role
• Experience with UAT/testing cycles, not just participating
• Strong understanding of ERP systems and integrations (e.g. Sage, SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics 365)
• Comfortable working with disparate or imperfect systems, with the grit to problem-solve rather than expect best practice
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to converse with non-technical stakeholders
• Ability to adapt to a changing environment and keep progressing system enhancements

Why Apply?
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about the systems side of Finance to play a key role in a live implementation, with genuine ownership over testing, configuration and process improvement as the function evolves.
