The Organisation
This is a large, well-established Australian business currently undertaking a significant finance transformation programme. To support delivery of this project, the finance function is bringing on a team of specialists to own the business side of the migration.
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced transactional finance professional to join the project team, reporting into a dedicated Workstream Lead within the finance function. This is a hands-on role focused on the cleansing and validation of accounts payable and accounts receivable data ahead of go-live. You will draw on your day-to-day AP/AR expertise to identify data issues, work with finance teams to resolve them, and ensure the integrity of transactional data ahead of cutover. No prior project or ERP experience is required.
Key Responsibilities
- Profile and cleanse vendor master data, customer master data, and intercompany balances to ensure accuracy and migration readiness
- Identify and resolve duplicate records, inactive accounts, missing fields, and formatting inconsistencies across AP and AR datasets
- Coordinate with finance subject matter experts to verify and correct transactional data inputs
- Map legacy AP/AR data fields into standardised templates in line with transformation rules
- Perform pre- and post-load reconciliations to verify completeness and accuracy of migrated data
- Investigate and resolve data load errors, correcting issues in source data or templates
- Document validation cycles and maintain clear audit trails throughout the migration process
- Provide hands-on support during data cutover and early post-go-live troubleshooting
- Solid background in accounts payable, accounts receivable, or assistant accounting with hands-on experience managing high volumes of transactional data
- Strong understanding of AP/AR processes including vendor master data, customer master data, intercompany, and subledger reconciliations
- Exposure to ERP systems an advantage but not essential
- Advanced Excel skills with strong attention to detail
- Organised and process-driven, comfortable working to project deadlines
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across finance and project teams
If you have a strong AP/AR background and are looking for a project-based contract role with a well-resourced Australian business, we'd love to hear from you.
