Your new company
A well-established organisation within the Higher Education sector is embarking on a major finance systems transformation programme. With legacy, paper-based processes and highly detailed financial regulations, they are now preparing to transition from Sage to a modern cloud-based finance system. They are seeking an experienced Finance Systems Accountant to lead this change and ensure the successful adoption of new processes across the organisation.
Your new role
Reporting into the Finance Director and working closely with the Management Accountant, you will take ownership of the end-to-end project to deliver a new cloud-based finance system.
Your key responsibilities will include:
* Project-managing the transition from Sage to a cloud-based accounting platform.
* Engaging with non-finance teams to embed new processes into operational workflows and delivering staff training to ensure adoption.
* Reviewing existing financial regulations and recommending updates to internal controls aligned to the new system environment.
* Working with finance assistants to identify and implement a new approach to student group expense claims.
* Ensuring successful integration between the organisation's existing system and the new finance system.
* Troubleshooting system issues post-go live and supporting ongoing optimisation.
