JOB DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS
The Work:
• Support finance transformation programs for utilities CFO and controller
organizations, including finance process redesign, solution design, data conversion,
testing, training, deployment, and post-go-live adoption.
• Lead or contribute to workstreams across core finance areas — General Ledger,
Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets / capital accounting, Project
Accounting, Intercompany, and regulatory/FERC reporting — aligning design to the
client’s chart of accounts, accounting policies, and controllership requirements.
• Design and deliver Fixed Asset and capital accounting capabilities tailored to
utilities — including CWIP, unitization, asset retirement obligations (AROs),
depreciation studies, regulatory asset treatment, and integration with Projects and
GL.
• Translate utilities CFO priorities into measurable enterprise value cases — building
business cases, value architectures, and KPI baselines that link finance capabilities
to outcomes such as faster close, improved forecast accuracy, rate-case readiness,
and reduced cost-to-serve.
• Analyze finance process data — chart of accounts, sub-ledger mappings, master
data, journals, asset registers, and reconciliations — to inform design, cleanse
legacy data, and validate cutover readiness.
• Collaborate across client stakeholders, Accenture delivery teams, product teams,
integration teams, testing teams, training teams, and offshore resources to deliver
coordinated finance transformation outcomes.
• Support scrum ceremonies, backlog refinement, sprint planning, user story
development, acceptance criteria, demos, and defect triage for finance
workstreams.
• Provide hands-on training, coaching, and enablement for utilities finance users,
super users, and project team members to support long-term adoption.
• Support execution of cutover activities, deployment readiness, change enablement,
and stakeholder communications for finance releases.
• Identify opportunities to improve delivery methods, solution quality, and cross-team
collaboration while helping utilities CFOs realize finance transformation value.
Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100%
depending on business need and client requirements.
