Within Accenture, the Finance Reinvention Partner helps clients improve financial performance around the CFO agenda — driving best-in-class performance, and sharper insight and benchmarking across the enterprise. In the UK and Ireland, our Finance RP practice brings together finance strategy and the platforms it runs on, including SAP, Oracle, Workday and EPM. You’d join the EPM part of the practice — a growing team reinventing enterprise performance management for finance functions, where planning and forecasting meet modern data platforms and AI.

This role sits at the heart of how finance plans, forecasts and decides — as the person who designs the data architecture and the AI beneath enterprise performance management. You'll shape how EPM platforms stitch together with the modern data platforms finance now runs on, and how machine learning and generative AI make planning and forecasting sharper, faster and more trusted.

What you'll bring:

  • EPM and FP&A architecture: Deep command of enterprise performance management — planning, forecasting, consolidation, reporting and close — and the FP&A behind it, from driver-based and rolling forecasting to scenario modelling and long-range planning.
  • Finance data architecture and integration: A strong grasp of how EPM connects to the wider enterprise — ERP, operational systems and the modern cloud data platforms finance now runs on.
  • AI-augmented, intelligent finance: You own the design of the AI and machine-learning use cases that make planning better — predictive forecasting, anomaly detection, automated variance analysis, AI-generated commentary and agentic planning workflows among them.
  • Leading delivery: You lead complex EPM, data and AI programmes end to end — from discovery and architecture through to deployment, adoption and hypercare.
  • Growing the work: You build trusted relationships with CFOs, finance leaders, CIOs and chief data officers; you originate and shape EPM, finance-transformation, data and AI opportunities.

Who you are:

You take ownership and lead from the front. You're a strong client-facing consultant, comfortable with CFOs, controllers, FP&A leaders and senior technology stakeholders, and you can turn complex finance, data and technology topics into clear business recommendations. You lead multidisciplinary and distributed teams well, bring good judgement and structured problem-solving to ambiguous problems, and communicate clearly under pressure.

Things that set strong candidates apart:

  • A track record delivering EPM programmes end to end;
  • Hands-on experience with one or more leading EPM platforms (Oracle EPM, OneStream or Anaplan);
  • Experience integrating EPM with modern data platforms — Snowflake, Palantir Foundry or Databricks;
  • A track record of data, analytics or AI-enabled finance solutions, including predictive forecasting and generative or agentic use cases;
  • Familiarity with SQL, APIs and modern data-integration technologies;
  • Relevant EPM, cloud-data or AI certifications;
  • A professional finance or accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent industry experience).

What's in it for you:

Alongside a competitive salary and package (dependent on experience), you’ll have an extensive benefits package including 30 days' holiday a year, private medical insurance, and 3 additional days' leave a year for charitable work of your choice.
