ERP Implementation Consultant
Full time
£40-60k
SW England – 3 days a week in office
The role
An exciting opportunity has arisen with a fast-growing, international cloud finance software company for an Implementation Consultant with a strong understanding of finance business processes and a passion for applying technology to solve real customer problems.
This is a hands-on, client-facing role within the Consulting team, combining finance expertise, system learning, process improvement, configuration, training and problem-solving to deliver software implementations and ongoing support for a wide range of customers.
Strong candidates may come from accounting, finance systems, financial control, finance transformation or business partnering backgrounds. The role would particularly suit someone with Financial Controller-level experience, or someone who has become the go-to person for improving finance processes, investigating system issues and leading change. Experience in property, financial services or adjacent sectors is a plus. There are clear development pathways into Consulting seniority, Solutions (pre-sales), or Product Management.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the implementation of the platform for new customers — design, configuration, testing, training and go-live support.
- Lead finance and business process workshops with customers, including senior stakeholders.
- Translate client needs into practical system solutions, and advise customers through process change.
- Collaborate with the project management team and resource manager to deliver projects on time and on budget.
- Support live customers with ad-hoc consultancy throughout their customer journey.
- Troubleshoot system, configuration, process and data issues in a structured, clearly-communicated way.
- Lead data migration, reconciliation, UAT and go-live readiness activity.
- Manage third-party and customer-side relationships across all levels of seniority.
- Support pre-sales efforts — solution scoping, demonstrations and proposal input — where finance or sector expertise adds value.
- Willingness to travel is essential.
Essential Experience
- At least part-qualified accountant (AAT, ACCA, or CIMA).
- Practical experience in a finance, accounting, finance systems or ERP implementation role.
- Strong understanding of core finance and business processes.
- Evidence of improving finance processes, implementing systems, acting as a system super-user, or contributing to finance transformation.
- Ability to learn unfamiliar systems independently and form practical recommendations.
- Strong stakeholder communication skills, including explaining finance/system topics to non-specialists.
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel.
Desirable Experience
- Financial Controller, Systems Accountant, Finance Systems Analyst, Senior Finance Business Partnering or Finance Transformation experience.
- ERP implementation experience (e.g. Unit4/Agresso, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite, Oracle or similar), as consultant or in-house.
- Experience as an internal ERP super-user, process owner, UAT lead or implementation partner point of contact.
- Experience in property, financial services or adjacent sectors.
- Practical experience across management/financial accounting, project accounting/billing, multi-currency reporting, multi-company consolidation, or purchasing/stock accounting.
- Pre-sales, solution scoping, demonstration or proposal experience.
