Maintain comprehensive validation evidence, including screenshots, workpapers, defect documentation, remediation notes, status updates, and retesting results. Collaborate with Finance, Reporting, Consolidation, Technology, and implementation partner teams to support issue investigation and timely resolution. Support SIT, UAT, parallel close, and go-live readiness activities by ensuring validation outcomes are completed, documented, and aligned with acceptance criteria. Track assigned validation activities, monitor progress, identify risks and blockers, and provide regular updates through project meetings and status discussions. Recommend and implement improvements to validation templates, workpapers, and repeatable processes to enhance efficiency and reduce manual effort. Contribute to overall project quality by ensuring financial data accuracy and supporting successful FCCS implementation outcomes.

Qualifications

Extensive experience in accounting, financial reporting, consolidations, finance systems, finance transformation, or a related discipline. Strong understanding of financial close processes, consolidation accounting, legal entity reporting, intercompany eliminations, foreign currency translation, journal entries, and financial statement reporting. Proven experience validating data between legacy and target systems during ERP, EPM, financial systems, or transformation initiatives. Demonstrated ability to investigate complex data discrepancies, perform root cause analysis, and communicate findings effectively to stakeholders. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including complex reconciliations, variance analysis, pivot tables, formulas, and large-volume data analysis. Strong documentation and testing discipline with experience maintaining validation evidence, issue logs, defect records, test results, and status reporting. Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and escalate risks and issues appropriately in a fast-paced project environment. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills. Professional accounting designation (CPA or equivalent) or comparable senior-level finance experience preferred.
