I am a qualified accountant and have specialised in maintaining and developing large scale Oracle EBS systems over the last 18 years. The finance teams expect the financial systems to deliver accurate and timely data. I have achieved this by ensuring stringent internal and external interface controls, efficient processing with minimal manual intervention, system and business process improvements and tight maintenance procedures. In 18 years, the financial teams have always been able to meet their month end, reporting deadlines Financial systems are constantly evolving as the organisation develops and business or regulatory requirements change. I have been involved in many major global projects and smaller system changes and always ensured that the accounting integrity has not been compromised. I have achieved this by carefully reviewing the proposals, thorough testing and introducing new controls/reports and post deployment checking.Even the best tested systems will produce unexpected results. I enjoy investigations and possess the analytical skills, business and accounting knowledge and the determination to root cause system issues. I will react quickly to urgent situations and escalate accordingly. This has gained me the high respect of the accounting users, the IT team and senior leadership with whom I have developed excellent working relationships.In addition to the Oracle EBS modules, I have also supported the Virtual Trader intercompany settlement and accounting system which runs on an Oracle database.A summary of my skills and competencies is:• Committed to maintaining and developing reliable and efficient financial systems• Business and accounting acumen• Change management and project work• Determined problem solver • Proactive• Pragmatic• Self-starter• Builds excellent relationships I am available to discuss new opportunities in London and the South East of England including remote working.
