JOB DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS

The Work:

• Support finance transformation programs for utilities CFO and controller organizations, including finance process redesign, solution design, data conversion, testing, training, deployment, and post-go-live adoption.
• Lead or contribute to workstreams across core finance areas — General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets / capital accounting, Project Accounting, Intercompany, and regulatory/FERC reporting — aligning design to the client’s chart of accounts, accounting policies, and controllership requirements.
• Design and deliver Fixed Asset and capital accounting capabilities tailored to utilities — including CWIP, unitization, asset retirement obligations (AROs), depreciation studies, regulatory asset treatment, and integration with Projects and GL.
• Translate utilities CFO priorities into measurable enterprise value cases — building business cases, value architectures, and KPI baselines that link finance capabilities to outcomes such as faster close, improved forecast accuracy, rate-case readiness, and reduced cost-to-serve.
• Analyze finance process data — chart of accounts, sub-ledger mappings, master data, journals, asset registers, and reconciliations — to inform design, cleanse legacy data, and validate cutover readiness.
• Collaborate across client stakeholders, Accenture delivery teams, product teams, integration teams, testing teams, training teams, and offshore resources to deliver coordinated finance transformation outcomes.
• Support scrum ceremonies, backlog refinement, sprint planning, user story development, acceptance criteria, demos, and defect triage for finance workstreams.
• Provide hands-on training, coaching, and enablement for utilities finance users, super users, and project team members to support long-term adoption.
• Support execution of cutover activities, deployment readiness, change enablement, and stakeholder communications for finance releases.
• Identify opportunities to improve delivery methods, solution quality, and cross-team collaboration while helping utilities CFOs realize finance transformation value. Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

What You Need:

• Minimum of 3 years Finance transformation consulting experience — including process design, controllership, close optimization, or CFO advisory work.
• Minimum of 3 years hands-on experience implementing or supporting ERP Finance solutions (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Cloud ERP) across GL, AP, AR, or Fixed Assets.
• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience with Fixed Asset / capital accounting, including capitalization, depreciation, and integration with Projects.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience working with finance process data — chart of accounts design, sub-ledger to ledger reconciliation, data conversion, or finance master data management.
• Minimum of 1 years of experience serving utilities clients (electric, gas, or water) or in a utilities finance, controllership, or regulatory function.
• Bachelor's Degree or equivalent (6 years) work experience. If an Associate's Degree, 3 years of work experience is required.

Bonus Points If:

• You have a CPA, CMA, ACCA, MBA, or equivalent accounting/finance credential.
• You have familiarity with utilities-specific accounting and reporting — FERC/USoA chart of accounts, regulatory assets and liabilities, rate cases, AROs, CWIP, and unitization.
• You have ERP Finance certification (e.g., SAP S/4HANA Financial Accounting, Oracle Cloud ERP Financials).
• You have experience with EPM tools (SAP Group Reporting/SAC, Oracle EPM) and how they connect to finance.
• You have familiarity with embedding GenAI / agentic AI into close, controls, planning, and reporting processes.
