About the role
- Serve as a trusted, client-facing advisor supporting ERP modernization initiatives across Finance, Budget, Procurement, Inventory, and Forecasting functions.
- Lead finance-focused business process fit-gap analyses to evaluate alignment between current-state workflows and modern ERP solution capabilities, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, controls, and usability.
- Facilitate workshops with project teams and business stakeholders to document complex current-state processes across core ERP modules, third-party applications, and culturally embedded “shadow IT” systems.
- Develop actionable recommendations to address functional gaps through business process changes, governance improvements, or tooling alternatives rather than system customization.
- Advise clients on managing unique or non-standard finance processes when solution functionality could not fully address requirements, including documenting impacts, risks, and mitigation strategies.
- Support future-state finance process design aligned to ERP modernization vision, business drivers, and guiding principles, ensuring consistency with industry standards and best practices.
- Identify opportunities for agile, iterative deployment approaches to enable early wins and incremental adoption across finance and budgeting functions.
- Document future risks, issues, and potential long-term costs associated with retaining legacy processes or deferring recommended changes, enabling informed executive decision-making.
Requirements
- Minimum of 5+ years of client-facing consulting experience supporting finance transformation, ERP, or enterprise modernization initiatives, preferably in a K-12 or government setting.
- Demonstrated experience performing finance-focused business process analysis and fit-gap assessments across budgeting, procurement, inventory, forecasting, and financial operations.
- Proven ability to develop strategic recommendations that address functional gaps through process optimization, governance improvements, or tooling alternatives rather than system configuration.
- Experience working within complex application environments that include core ERP modules, third-party systems, and legacy or “shadow IT” solutions.
- Strong facilitation, documentation, and stakeholder engagement skills, including leading workshops and producing executive-ready analysis and recommendations.
- Ability to assess and clearly communicate risks, impacts, and long-term costs associated with maintaining legacy finance processes or deferring recommended changes.
- Experience supporting ERP modernization efforts aligned to defined business drivers, guiding principles, and industry best practices.
