FinXL IT is seeking a Financial Data Lead to join our team at a leading insurance organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a major digital finance transformation initiative and play a key role in migrating financial data from SAP ECC6 to S/4HANA.

Role Purpose:

As a Financial Data Lead, you will ensure the integrity, consistency, and completeness of financial data being migrated to S/4HANA. You'll manage the end-to-end data lifecycle-ranging from data extraction and cleansing, to transformation, validation, and reconciliation-supporting the strategic goals of the Finance Digital Transformation Program.

Key Responsibilities:

Data Discovery & Analysis:

• Analyze current-state SAP ECC6 finance data structures (General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Assets, and CO objects).

• Identify and resolve data quality issues, inconsistencies, and legacy anomalies.

• Collaborate on mapping legacy Chart of Accounts (CoA) to the target S/4HANA chart of accounts.

Data Cleansing & Transformation:

• Partner with business SMEs to define data cleansing rules for master and transactional data.

• Support the enrichment of master data such as profit centres, cost centres, and tax codes.

• Apply business rules to transform data into the Universal Journal (ACDOCA) structure.

Data Migration Execution:

• Support extract-transform-load (ETL) activities using tools such as SAP Migration Cockpit, LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench), and SNP CrystalBridge (if applicable).

• Manage load files, staging tables, and test data cycles during the migration process.

Reconciliation & Validation:

• Perform data reconciliation between SAP ECC and S/4HANA (trial balances, line-item reports, balances).

• Assist with mock loads, test cycles, and cutover validation activities.

• Ensure audit trails are maintained for all data transformation steps.

Collaboration & Governance:

• Work closely with Finance SMEs, SAP functional consultants, and data governance leads.

• Align with the central Data Office on data standards, ownership, and retention policies.

• Document transformation logic, validation steps, and exception handling processes clearly and accurately.

Key Competencies:

• Functional: Deep knowledge of SAP ECC6 FICO data structures and familiarity with S/4HANA Universal Journal.

• Technical: Proficiency in data extraction, SQL, Excel, and ETL logic. Experience with SAP Migration Cockpit, LSMW, Data Services, and SNP tools.

• Quality & Controls: Strong understanding of reconciliation processes, auditability, and ensuring data quality standards are maintained.

• Communication: Excellent collaboration skills with cross-functional teams and business SMEs.

• Problem Solving: Strong root-cause analysis capabilities and a proactive mindset in resolving issues.

Experience & Qualifications:

• Experience as a senior finance data consultant within SAP ecosystems.

• At least 1 end-to-end SAP data migration project (preferably ECC to S/4HANA).

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, IT, or related field.

• Knowledge of finance master data governance and data quality best practices.

• CPA/CA certification is a plus but not mandatory.

Success Measures:

• Clean, validated migration of finance master and transactional data.

• No post-migration reconciliation gaps or audit issues.

• High satisfaction from Finance stakeholders.

• Comprehensive documentation of all transformation logic and reconciliation reports.
