About the role

  • Define FI/CO structures (company codes, controlling areas, cost centers, profit centers) that mirror hubs, DCs, transportation networks, and customer segments.
  • Implement account-based CO-PA to analyze profitability by customer, lane, mode, service type (transport, storage, cold-chain), and region.
  • Configure integration of SD, MM, and logistics (e.g., TM/EWM where relevant) into FI/CO to capture true cost-to-serve (line-haul, last-mile, facility costs, accessorials).
  • Support cost allocation models for cross-dock, consolidation, hub operations, and overhead associated with compliance/quality for healthcare logistics.
  • Lead finance and controlling aspects of the S/4HANA conversion, including reconciliation and validation of P&L and balance sheet for logistics entities.
  • Enable financial and management reporting for route profitability, customer margin, and network efficiency using S/4HANA Universal Journal and analytics.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in SAP FI/CO with 3+ end-to-end S/4HANA projects (conversions preferred), including Universal Journal (ACDOCA) implementation.
  • Expertise in FI modules: New GL, AR/AP, Asset Accounting, intercompany processing, and multi-GAAP consolidation.
  • Advanced knowledge of CO modules: cost center accounting, internal orders, product costing, and account-based CO-PA for service profitability analysis.
  • Proven experience integrating logistics/SD revenues and MM expenditures into FI/CO for accurate cost-to-serve and margin reporting.
  • Hands-on data migration and reconciliation experience for financial master data and transactional data in S/4HANA conversions.
  • Finance experience in transportation/logistics, 3PL providers, or distribution networks handling regulated products.
  • Experience modeling freight revenue recognition, accrual accounting for transportation services, and logistics cost allocations.
  • Familiarity with regulatory reporting requirements for pharma/medical device logistics operations.
  • Proficiency in SAP Fiori analytics, SAC, or embedded analytics for P&L by customer/route/service.
  • Knowledge of tax engines (Vertex/SABRIX) for international freight and logistics services.
Benefits
  • Willingness and ability to travel to client site as needed.
