Key responsibilities:

• Collaborate with finance and IT teams to define requirements for analytical reporting
• Data migration – mapping legacy data to new structures, performing reconciliation and validity testing
• Overseeing UAT – develop test scripts for consolidation scenarios
• Document new consolidation processes & controls

Your experience:

• Demonstrated hands-on experience with the implementation of a group consolidation system
• Strong understanding of the challenges of data migration, testing, control implementation and training
• Strong working knowledge of consolidation processes and group reporting
