[Hiring] Senior SAP Functional Consultant @Informatic Tech

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior SAP FI/CO Functional Consultant to join our ECC to S/4HANA conversion project team. In this role, you will be a key contributor throughout the full project lifecycle—from discovery and fit-gap analysis through go-live and hypercare. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience delivering S/4HANA migrations and deep expertise in Finance and Controlling, including a thorough understanding of Universal Journal architecture and the FI/CO simplifications introduced in S/4HANA.

Project Responsibilities

• Migration & Conversion
  • Lead fit-gap analysis for FI/CO processes; identify impacted simplification items (Universal Journal, new Asset Accounting, new Cost Center Accounting, elimination of classic GL, reconciliation ledger removal).
  • Evaluate conversion approach implications for FI/CO: open item management, balance carryforward, document splitting migration, and profit center/segment migration.
  • Map and validate FI/CO configuration objects for migration including chart of accounts, document types, posting keys, controlling area settings, cost element migration to G/L accounts (S/4HANA merges cost elements into G/L).
  • Support financial data migration: G/L balances, open items (AR/AP), asset migration (using AS91/RAALTD01 or migration cockpit), cost center/profit center planning data.
  • Review and resolve SPDD/SPAU items related to FI/CO customizations.
  • Identify FI/CO custom enhancements (user exits, BADIs, substitutions, validations) requiring S/4HANA compatibility remediation.
• Design & Configuration
  • Configure Universal Journal-based ledger architecture, document splitting, and parallel accounting in S/4HANA.
  • Design and configure new Asset Accounting (depreciation areas, asset classes, integration with GL).
  • Configure Management Accounting (CO-PA, profit center accounting, internal orders, cost centers) leveraging S/4HANA's unified FI/CO architecture.
  • Develop functional specifications for RICEFW objects (custom reports, interfaces, forms) needed in S/4HANA.
  • Ensure integration with MM (GR/IR), SD (billing/revenue recognition), and PP modules.
• Testing & Cutover
  • Develop and execute unit, integration, and regression test scripts for converted FI/CO processes.
  • Support and coordinate UAT; triage and resolve defects.
  • Define FI/CO cutover tasks: closing periods, balance transfers, open item cutover, asset data load sequencing; participate in mock cutovers.
  • Support hypercare stabilization post go-live.
• Stakeholder Engagement & Governance
  • Engage finance and controlling business stakeholders; secure decisions on simplification-driven process changes.
  • Produce project documentation: fit-gap logs, configuration workbooks, functional specs, test scripts, training materials.
  • Report risks and recommendations to project leadership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
• 7+ years hands-on SAP FI/CO functional consulting experience.
• Minimum 2 full-lifecycle ECC to S/4HANA conversion projects in a lead FI/CO role (brownfield, greenfield, or selective data transition).
• Deep knowledge of S/4HANA Universal Journal architecture and its impact on FI/CO processes and configuration.
• Experience with new Asset Accounting in S/4HANA (parallel depreciation areas, asset migration).
• Strong understanding of the merger of CO cost elements into G/L accounts and implications for reporting.
• Hands-on experience with financial data migration tools: SAP Migration Cockpit (LTMC), LSMW, or RFBIBL00.
• Experience with SAP Activate methodology.
• Proficiency writing functional specifications and collaborating with ABAP developers on RICEFW.
• Excellent communication skills; able to convey financial process impacts to non-technical business stakeholders.
• Strong ability to manage priorities and meet project milestones.

Preferred Qualifications

• SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP S/4HANA Finance (current version preferred).
• Experience with SAP Group Reporting or S/4HANA for Group Business Planning.
• Familiarity with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR/IFRS 15).
• Experience with SAP Tax compliance integrations (Vertex, Sovos, or similar).
• Prior consulting experience with a system integrator in a project delivery model.
