Functional Software Implementation Consultant with Accounting

This software company sells a P2P (procurement to pay) solution that is normally integrated with large finance solutions. This new role is for a client facing Functional Software Implementation Consultant to work with clients through the full implementation process and life cycle. The role is centred around London clients and is paying a salary of £40-55k plus £5k car allowance and utilisation bonus.

Most of their clients are large FTSE 500 size companies, so the role involves a lot of hand-holding and helping people to make the right decisions, as well as collaboration and cooperation with the client stake holders and IT departments.

This will suit someone who is happy to work in London extensively, as the majority of your clients will be based in London.

You will work with clients who have existing financial software like Sage 200, Agresso, MS Dynamics GP, Infor SunSystems, MS Dynamics NAV, Sage ERP X3, Sage 1000, Unit 4 Access Accounts, SAP Business One, JDE - it could be anything. Your job is to extract a lot of information from the client about the procurement processes that they have, and you will need to be strong at dealing with finance people, including FD's.

The role is very much focused on getting the Procurement to Pay solution integrated to the accounts software that the client in using. The technical consultant installs the connection software (they have various ones for all the different accounting packages) then your job is to get it working. Part of this is understanding the business requirements, part of it is messing around with SQL, writing SQL statements, part of it is your own logic, and part of it is understanding accounting enough to know where things should go. You just need to work through the process with the client dealing with the requirements and subsequent issues.

You will create the solution using technical skills, especially SQL, although there are developers and technical consultants, so you do NOT need to be a developer. You will learn how the client runs their procurement processes and create a solution for them with the P2P software.

So you will have a combination of:

• Software Implementation projects experience
• A client facing consulting background
• SQL skills
• Accounts and Finance experience (software implementation or working in accounts in the past)

As a Functional Software Consultant here you will work with the Head of Consulting who is also the Project Manager, he will allocate projects and times but you will organise your own diary.

Why is this a great job?

• Most of the work is in London
• Really cool product
• Cloud based solution
• Market leading product, expect huge growth and massive career opportunities
• Company is built on rock solid foundations
• Interesting projects
• Very nice team of people
• Working with big clients, with interesting software and big challenges

We think this is a terrific job for an Implementation Consultant who understands accounting & finance and is keen to work with clients around the London area.
