Finance Process Analyst Order to Cash

Description

Finance transformation (FiT for short) refers to the comprehensive and strategic overhaul of financial processes, systems and procedures within the client. This includes adopting innovative technologies, optimizing financial operations, and implementing best practices to improve productivity, accuracy, and decision‑making. The Fenix project is the modernization of operational financial systems: Provision of an ERP environment for financial processes (accounting, controlling, purchasing) after the end of life of R/3 in 2027. In the long term, this enables the standardization and digitization of current processes and promotes data orientation through the single‑point‑of‑truth approach to financial data. With the introduction of SAP S/4 HANA (Project Fénix), a global template concept for the Spain, Brazil and Germany entities of the client will be used and will serve as the basis for future add‑ons to realize the global and local financial vision (e.g. Closing Cockpit, AI‑based cash flow forecasting, billing).

Tasks

• Development and documentation of detailed concepts for monthly, quarterly and year‑end closing processes in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) in an E2E process view (from the upstream system to reporting), including the definition of timetables, checklists and responsibility matrices.
• Independent creation of technical concepts for processes in HGB accounting and financial reporting (including account assignment logics, valuation and accrual mechanisms, account models, closing postings) to support an efficient and audit‑proof closing process.
• Detailed technical analysis and preparation of data from SAP (esp. SAP FI/CO, sub‑ledger systems if necessary) and upstream systems to ensure correct accounting in accordance with HGB and IFRS (e.g. reconciliation of general ledgers/subledgers, balance analyses, plausibility checks).
• Advice on the preparation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB) and IFRS reporting packages (balance sheet, P&L, cash flow, notes, provisions and deferred income), including the preparation of technical accounting proposals, analysis of variances and derivation of recommendations for action.
• Creation, further development and documentation of reporting templates (e.g. HGB appendix tables, IFRS reporting packages, management reports) including definition of the required data structures and technical advice to the stakeholders involved on the requirements.
• Technical review and quality assurance services for financial statements prepared by the client (e.g. balance sheet items, notes, provisions table, impairment tests), including documentation of the results, identification of optimization or correction needs and their structured communication.
• Expert advice on the implementation and interpretation of new or amended accounting standards (HGB, IFRS), including the implementation of impact analyses, the development of accounting guidelines and the preparation of accompanying technical documentation and training documents.
• Definition of technical requirements for system and reporting adaptations in the SAP environment (esp. SAP FI/CO and, if applicable, group reporting/consolidation systems), including the creation of technical specifications for adjustments to charts of accounts, valuation logics and reports.
• Independent creation of framework conditions for technical testing (test concept, relevant test cases) in the field of accounting and reporting processes; execution and documentation of technical tests to validate the correct mapping of HGB and IFRS requirements as well as tracking identified defects.
• Expert advice to the areas of controlling, tax, treasury and operational departments within the framework of workshops and review dates to ensure consistent accounting and coordinated reporting.
