Financial Change Manager (FP&A / Accounting / Transformation)

Huron is a global consultancy that collaborates with clients to drive strategic growth, ignite innovation and navigate constant change. Through a combination of strategy, expertise and creativity, we help clients accelerate operational, digital and cultural transformation, enabling the change they need to own their future.

Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.

Huron is expanding its Belfast‑based delivery centre, establishing a centre of excellence for high‑impact Finance Transformation projects. We are seeking functional finance managers who speak the language of the CFO office and can translate complex financial strategies into world‑class technology solutions. This role is designed for managers with a strong foundation in Accounting, FP&A, or Finance Operations who want to apply their domain expertise to the world of cloud technology. You will lead a team in our European practice, bridging the gap between technical configuration and strategic financial objectives. We provide robust support, cutting‑edge tools (Oracle, Workday, OneStream), and global resources to empower you to deliver transformative results.

Your Role : A Functional Expert Driving Finance Transformation

• Solution Design & Implementation : You will conduct deep‑dive analyses of complex client requirements through virtual workshops and process mapping sessions. You will then translate these business needs into robust, scalable, and best‑practice‑aligned solution designs. Your hands‑on work will involve configuring market‑leading cloud applications (such as Oracle EPM / ERP, OneStream, Workday, etc.), building financial models, developing integration workflows, and creating sophisticated reports and dashboards that provide critical insights to our clients.
• Functional Solution Design : You will lead the functional design of financial systems. This involves conducting workshops with Controllers and FP&A Directors to define Chart of Accounts (CoA) structures, design financial consolidation logic, and map "Record‑to‑Report" or "Plan‑to‑Perform" processes. You will ensure the technology solution aligns strictly with accounting standards (IFRS / GAAP) and strategic reporting needs.
• Finance Transformation : You will advise clients on best‑practice finance operating models. This includes streamlining period‑end close cycles, automating reconciliation processes, and designing driver‑based forecasting models that provide actionable commercial insights.
• Client Collaboration : Serving as the translator between IT and Finance, you will manage relationships with finance stakeholders across Europe. You will articulate how cloud solutions impact day‑to‑day accounting operations and strategic planning.
• Project Delivery : Manage specific functional workstreams (e.g., General Ledger, Consolidation, Planning) with autonomy. You will own the creation of functional specifications, user acceptance testing (UAT) scripts, and training materials for finance users.
• Onsite Engagement : While primarily based in Belfast (hybrid), you may travel to client sites across Europe for critical design workshops and go‑live support, ensuring that the "human" side of finance transformation is managed effectively.
