The Role
In this role you will support the monthly close process within the Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close (FCCS) system. This is a blended finance and systems role, combining hands-on close activity — including data validation, intercompany clearance and support for local team adjustments — with the technical troubleshooting needed to resolve system and data issues as they arise during the close cycle.
Responsibilities
- Support the end-to-end monthly close process within Oracle FCCS, ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met.
- Perform data validations across the consolidation system, identifying and resolving discrepancies ahead of close sign-off.
- Manage intercompany clearance, working with local and regional finance teams to investigate and resolve mismatches.
- Support local finance teams with the preparation, input and review of manual adjustments within the system.
- Act as first point of contact for close-related system and data issues, diagnosing root causes and coordinating resolution.
- Liaise with IT and system administrators on recurring or complex technical issues, escalating where required.
- Monitor data loads, mappings and interfaces feeding FCCS, flagging and resolving exceptions in a timely manner.
- Contribute to the ongoing improvement of close processes and controls, identifying opportunities for efficiency and standardisation.
- Provide clear, timely communication and status updates to Group Finance, Regional Controllers and local teams throughout the close cycle.
