Finance Systems Specialist

Interim Finance Systems / Technical Accounting Specialist We're are supporting a key client on a high profile project, needing interim support in a Finance Systems/Technical Accounting role. This will be a long term contract on a day rate guided by experience. The project will focus on a new revenue stream, which will have its own systems application. The new application and proposition will need to be integrated with the current revenue system, which is archaic. The individual will need to work across the project and the existing systems to understand requirements and what is/is not possible with the current revenue accounting. There are some complex technical accounting requirements (IFRS15) that need to be interpreted and ‘written into’ the systems application for the proposition. We require a reasonable level of technical accounting knowledge and certainly a Qualified Accountant - The individual must be able to work with the technical accounting team and interpret the requirements and work with the project team to understand how the new system will deliver the requirements. This will not be a standard system implementation and there will no doubt be challenges, so the individual will need to show resilience and navigate differing requirements across the finance and projects team.
