• Support SAP S/4HANA General Ledger design, including chart of accounts, ledgers, postings, close processes, and alignment with Universal Journal and enterprise reporting requirements.

• Lead interface scope and readiness for financial data flows, including requirements where the connection may be between two SAP S/4HANA environments or between SAP S/4HANA and other internal or external systems.

• Drive interface design validation, mapping reviews, error handling, and control requirements to help ensure complete, accurate, and timely transmission of financial and master data.

• Oversee testing for General Ledger and interfaces across SIT, FIT, BST, and UAT, partnering with IT and system integrators to validate end-to-end scenarios, reconciliations, and defect resolution.

• Support cutover planning and execution for GL and interface activities, including data readiness, balances validation, reconciliations, interface monitoring setup, and deployment checkpoints.

• Help prepare teams for go-live by supporting operating procedures, controls documentation, training, business readiness, and post-go-live adoption for GL and interface support processes.

• Act as a trusted SAP S/4HANA General Ledger and Interfaces SME during go-live and hypercare, helping teams quickly resolve posting, reconciliation, and integration issues to stabilize operations.
