Summary We are seeking a Finance Systems Manager to own and scale our finance application stack—ERP, FP&A, revenue tools, and integrations—so the team can close faster, forecast better, and operate with strong controls. You’ll partner with Accounting, FP&A, RevOps, GTM, and IT to design processes (Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Record-to-Report), drive automation, and ensure data quality, compliance, and usability. You will support the Controller in a comprehensive financial systems overhaul, including vendor selection, interviews, implementation, customization, UAT testing, and go-live.

Base pay range $110,000.00/yr - $150,000.00/yr

Responsibilities

Own the finance stack

– Serve as system owner/admin for the ERP ([NetSuite/Sage Intacct/MS D365]) and adjacent tools (expense management, AP automation, billing/revenue, payroll, FP&A/planning, procurement). Manage roles, permissions, workflows, approvals, and audit trails.

Architect processes

– Design, document, and improve O2C, P2P, R2R processes; embed controls and segregation of duties. Translate policy (e.g., revenue recognition, capitalization, approvals) into system rules.

Implement & integrate

– Lead implementations, module rollouts, and upgrades; run discovery, design, build, testing (SIT/UAT), cutover, and hypercare. Build and maintain integrations (e.g., Salesforce → ERP, billing, banks, data warehouse).

Data, reporting & analytics

– Deliver financial and operational reporting (close packages, KPI dashboards, variance views) in ERP/FP&A and BI ([Looker/Power BI]). Partner with Controller to enable driver-based planning and forecast versions; reduce manual work via workflows, scripts, and scheduled jobs. Identify automation opportunities (e.g., bank reconciliation, invoice matching, intercompany, amortization schedules) and deliver measurable time savings.

Controls & compliance

– Support audits and readiness (SOX-lite): access reviews, change management, evidence collection, configurable controls, and documentation. Ensure data security, backup, and disaster-recovery practices are followed.

Partner & enable

– Partner with Accounting, FP&A, GTM/RevOps, and IT to prioritize a systems roadmap aligned to business goals. Train end users, maintain playbooks/SOPs, and run office hours; manage vendors and licenses against budget.

Qualifications

Experience: 6–10+ years in finance systems, accounting operations, or business systems at a high-growth company or consulting/SI; at least one end-to-end ERP implementation.

Systems: Hands-on admin/config with one or more: NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft D365; plus experience with FP&A tools (Planful/Adaptive/Anaplan), billing/revenue (Zuora/Stripe/Chargebee), AP/Expenses (Coupa/Airbase/Tipalti/Expensify), iPaaS (Workato/Celigo/Boomi).

Accounting & policy: Strong grasp of Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Record-to-Report, multi-entity/multi-currency, and ASC 606/revenue concepts; partner closely with Accounting on policy-to-system mapping.

Delivery: Proven project management, requirements gathering, UAT, change management, and documentation; vendor/consultant oversight.

Soft skills: Clear communicator who can translate finance needs into scalable solutions; bias for automation and accuracy.
