Position Overview
 

Autodesk is seeking an experienced Senior Business Systems Analyst (BSA) to support Finance transformation initiatives, with a strong emphasis on Finance User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and ERP-enabled business processes. This role combines Finance domain expertise, business systems analysis, and hands-on UAT execution to support the successful delivery of Finance systems and capabilities, primarily across Autodesk’s SAP Finance landscape.

As part of a global delivery model, this role partners closely with Finance stakeholders, Project Managers, Engineering teams, Product Managers, and US-based testing leads. The position plays a key contributing role in Finance UAT, helping ensure that system changes meet business requirements, internal controls, and compliance standards. While this role does not own the UAT process, it is critical to executing high-quality testing, identifying issues early, and supporting effective collaboration across teams.

Most work is completed during local business hours; however, successful candidates will be flexible and engaged in joining select meetings during Pacific Standard Time (PST) hours, particularly during active UAT cycles. Time shifting is not required, but presence during key discussions will support stronger outcomes.

This role follows a hybrid work model, with an expectation of three days per week working from the Autodesk Bengaluru office, supporting collaboration, learning, and Autodesk’s office culture.

Key Responsibilities:

• Document and maintain business process flows, system impacts, and solution artifacts aligned to Finance transformation goals

• Support change management activities by documenting and communicating Finance system and process impacts

Finance User Acceptance Testing (Strong Focus, Shared Contribution)

• Develop and execute Finance-focused UAT test scenarios, test cases, scripts, and documentation aligned to approved business requirements

• Design and execute test cases to validate accounting rules, financial postings, reporting outputs, and end-to-end Finance processes

• Support mapping of business and functional requirements to UAT scenarios to ensure appropriate test coverage

• Participate in workshops, design reviews, and demos to prepare for effective UAT execution and early risk identification

• During active testing cycles, participate in select PST-hour meetings, including hand-offs, defect discussions, and status reviews, to improve collaboration and reduce cycle time

• Collaborate with Engineering teams to review end-to-end testing results from a Finance perspective and provide targeted feedback

• Clearly document defects, validate fixes, and perform retesting as needed

• Maintain accurate and auditable test execution records to support release readiness and audit requirements

• Contribute to continuous improvement of Finance UAT practices, tools, and documentation in partnership with global teams

Financial Systems & Accounting Expertise:

• Apply strong accounting and Finance knowledge to validate ERP system behavior, financial postings, and reporting accuracy

• Ensure system changes comply with accounting rules, internal policies, and Finance operational standards

• Analyze system outputs and reports to confirm accuracy, completeness, and usability for Finance stakeholders

• Support Finance data validation, reconciliations, and reporting activities during UAT

• Validate that Finance systems meet expectations for stability, usability, and performance

Compliance, Risk & Controls:

• Support UAT activities in alignment with regulatory requirements, internal controls, and Finance policies

• Assist with SOX and audit-related testing by providing test evidence, documentation, and functional explanations

• Identify and communicate Finance risks related to system changes, testing gaps, or deferred requirements

Qualifications Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Business, or a related field

• Professional certifications such as Chartered Accountant (CA), CPA, CMA, or relevant Business Analysis or QA certifications are strongly preferred

Experience:

• 8–10+ years of experience across Finance, accounting, business systems analysis, and/or Finance-focused QA or UAT

• Hands-on experience with SAP Finance modules, including Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) and Management Reporting (MR)

• Proven experience supporting Finance UAT for ERP or large-scale system implementations

• Experience working in global, cross-functional teams

Skills & Attributes:

• Strong understanding of Finance and accounting processes

• Solid knowledge of SDLC methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Waterfall)

• Proficiency with business process mapping tools (e.g., Visio, Lucidchart)

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with strong attention to detail

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain Finance concepts to technical teams

• Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

• Collaborative, adaptable, and focused on delivering quality outcomes

What Success Looks Like in the First 6–12 Months
 

By the 6–12-month mark, a successful candidate will have:

• Built effective working relationships with Finance stakeholders, US-based test leads, Engineering partners, and Project Managers.

• Developed a strong understanding of Autodesk’s Finance processes, SAP systems, and control environment
