Finance Process Consultant

About MOX

MOX builds the systems companies use to grow revenue and collect it: marketing and commerce on one side, financial and cash operations on the other, built end to end for mid-market and enterprise businesses across Southeast Asia. We use AI heavily in how we work; the judgment about what problems to solve and what is built stays with people.

The Engagement

An established Philippine manufacturer is bringing its financial reporting onto SAP S/4HANA. Our role is to facilitate this migration and by documenting and automating the process. This is an analyst role, not an accounting role, for someone who can read a close. You work on-site with the engagement lead. MOX documents, reviews, coordinates and build solutions; the client operates, approves, posts and signs.

What you will do

Most of how the finance function works lives in a few people's heads. The job is to get it into a form the company can run on.

Uncover

• Run capture sessions with the accounting and cost accounting team on the month-end close, statutory reporting, approvals and exception handling; record and index each session within 48 hours.
• Capture the judgment layer, not just the keystrokes: which variances matter, seasonal patterns, tax positions, what is done when a figure does not reconcile.

Map

• Complete the report register: every finance report with its source workbooks, SAP transactions, dependencies, preparation time, statutory flags, and its disposition after SAP (keep, move, retire, automate).
• Complete the workflow and approval-form registers: each process with its owners, forms, transaction codes and turnaround.
• Trace report figures to their source transactions in SAP; log what does not reconcile and why.
• Draw the process flows for the to-be close (Mermaid or draw.io).

Facilitate

• Stand up and run the Confluence workspace (structure, ownership, house rules) and the Jira project (workflows, issue types, ageing report); have the client's team working in both by handover.
• Keep the open-items and open-decisions tracker: owner and date per item, chased weekly.
• Coordinate the parallel run: keep the run-log for each close cycle and the comparison log between the old and new results, with explanations captured from the consultants.
• Schedule sessions, track deliverables and route documents for sign-off across every workstream.

Create

• Write the to-be SAP close runbook and the live close checklist, and get each document signed by its owner on the client side.
• Build the finance calendar: every close date and statutory deadline with a name against it.
• Assemble the evidence packs the client uses to decide when the old spreadsheet processes are retired.
• Prepare training materials and log observed performance across three rounds of user training.
• Keep the manual-work pain log and turn it into a ranked automation list, priced in hours saved per month; build the simple ones.

Keep

• Measure: baseline the close and cash metrics in month one, publish a monthly scorecard, re-measure at the end.
• Hand over: documentation index, registers, calendar, open decisions and workspace administration to the incoming finance lead.

By March: finance operations documented, measured, and running on SAP.

Requirements

1. Accounting depth. Either you have closed books yourself (accruals, reconciliations, fixed assets, inventory valuation, statutory schedules), or you have supported a month-end close inside an ERP as a finance process or systems analyst. Five or more years. Generalist business analysis without accounting depth does not qualify.
2. ERP fluency. You can follow a document flow from a report figure through the ledger and sub-ledger to the originating transaction, in any ERP. SAP FI or CO preferred.
3. Documentation. You have written SOPs or work instructions with steps, owners, controls and exceptions that someone else followed without you. You will show one.
4. Coordination. You have run a workstream, UAT cycle or close calendar to a date: defect or issue logs, sign-offs, chasing owners, without being managed day to day.
5. Tools. SAP S/4HANA, advanced Excel (lookups, pivots, reconciliations across workbooks). Confluence and Jira, or comparable, preferred. Process diagramming.
6. Working style. Precise in writing, comfortable interviewing accountants and reading their spreadsheets, and able to say what you do not know.
7. Location. Metro Manila; on-site in Quezon City three to four days a week, October 2026 to March 2027.

Preferred: accountancy degree or CPA · manufacturing, product costing or Material Ledger exposure · internal audit, PMO or process-improvement background.
