European Systems Accountant (fixed term contract)

My client is a global business with a strong and recognisable brand.  The business is about to embark on a SAP implementation and is looking to recruit a Systems Accountant for a 12 month contract.  The role will provide systems accounting support to European Finance functions and play a critical role as a project team member in a number of global IT enablement projects 

As Systems Accountant you will be the primary point of contact and provide specialist systems advice to resolve end user difficulties when using the SAP system. You will carry out day-to-day SAP systems maintenance, administration and control activities making sure the system is used in an efficient and effective manner.  You will work collaboratively with finance and IT to provide input on defining key business processes and specific functional design requirements of new finance systems (including SAP system upgrade).  As the key contact to European finance teams, you will deal with any issues arising during the implementation and post-implementation phases of IT enablement projects. You will also hold controllership representative for completing European data conversion and validation activities, supporting organisation change management training, and detailed system testing.

The successful candidate will have significant experience within a similar role and organisation size. They will have a solid understanding of financial accounting with a systems skill set. Most importantly you will have previous knowledge of SAP systems and reporting tools. Accountancy qualification is not essential but desirable.
