Own the finance systems agenda as the bridge between finance and tech. Are you a finance systems specialist who can sit between finance and a technical team and hold your own with both? Do you like owning the detail, knowing what a system should do, spotting when it doesn’t, and driving the fix? We Do Group are hiring a Systems Accountant for a well-established media business, to take ownership of finance systems within a busy team. You’ll be the key link between Finance and the D365 technical team, making sure Microsoft D365 and connected tools do what the business actually needs. There’s a clear backlog of changes to work through and a significant project to get the invoice automation tool in accounts payable working as it should. This is a hands-on role for someone who’s done this before and can step in with minimal handholding.
