Supporting Oracle period close activities each month, including additional year-end procedures.
Providing first-line functional support for Oracle Financials and resolving system and interface exceptions.
Coordinating Oracle sub-ledger reconciliations and supporting the integrity of financial data.
Acting as a Subject Matter Expert for finance systems and the Period Close application.
Providing day-to-day systems and functional application support to the Finance team.

Maintaining master data and ensuring data integrity and accuracy.

Liaising with Oracle support teams and other relevant stakeholders to resolve issues efficiently.
Supporting other finance systems and process activities as required.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who combines solid accounting fundamentals with a genuine interest in finance systems and processes.
You'll ideally have:
A professional accountancy qualification, ideally CIMA, ACA or ACCA.
At least one year of post-qualification experience.
Strong experience and understanding of ERP systems, particularly Oracle Financials.
Detailed working knowledge of Oracle Financials R12, ideally covering AP, AR, GL, FA, PA and CM, as well as Web ADI.
Experience of management accounting within a commercial environment.
Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial data.
Excellent organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to work collaboratively across Finance and wider business teams.
A proactive, analytical approach to identifying and resolving systems and process issues.
Why Consider This Role?
This is a fantastic opportunity for an accountant who wants to move beyond traditional accounting and play a key role at the intersection of finance, systems and business processes.
You'll gain exposure across a broad range of finance systems and processes, work with stakeholders at different levels, and become a key point of expertise within the finance function. The role offers variety, responsibility and the opportunity to make an immediate contribution within an established and collaborative team.
If you're a qualified accountant with strong Oracle Financials experience and enjoy solving problems, improving processes and being the person others turn to for systems support, we'd love to hear from you.
