Overview
Remote consultants based in Portugal are sought to design an automation solution for finance operations using Redwood Finance Automation.
Work will focus on the record-to-report cycle, including:
- Period-end close
- Account reconciliation
- Journal processing
- Subsequent reporting, connected to the organization’s ERP
Contract duration is being confirmed. Start date: 15 November 2026. Day rate: EUR 450 a day. Language: English.
Responsibilities
- Own the solution design end-to-end: from design into build, testing, and go-live.
- Partner with finance process owners to understand how the close runs today.
- Determine what to automate and in what order.
- Produce a solution design that engineering teams can build.
- Make decisions to ensure what was designed meets real requirements during build and delivery.
- Conduct current-state analysis of record-to-report processes with controllers and finance operations leads.
- Define the target automation design across close, reconciliation, journals, and intercompany, written up as the solution design.
- Decide where standard Redwood capability covers requirements and where extensions are justified.
- Create integration design covering SAP S/4HANA or ECC and other source systems.
- Design balance sheet auto-certification rules, controls, approvals, and an audit trail so the automated close stands up to audit.
- Guide engineers through build and review delivered outputs against the solution design.
- Define test strategy and acceptance criteria with finance users.
- Produce a roadmap for subsequent automation waves once initial processes are live.
Requirements
- Solution design ownership on at least one live Redwood Finance Automation (RunMyFinance) implementation, including running design workshops and writing the design.
- 8 or more years of experience in finance transformation, finance systems, or record-to-report process design.
- Working understanding of SAP FI/CO (or the Oracle equivalent) and how close and reconciliation data flows between the ERP and the automation layer.
- Experience running workshops with finance users and converting workshop outputs into a buildable, testable design.
- Ability to work with senior finance stakeholders and hold a design position when challenged.
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on Redwood build experience, so you understand what your design requires of engineers.
- Experience with BlackLine, Trintech, or SAP Advanced Financial Closing.
- Finance qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or similar).
- Experience in financial services or another regulated industry, including work under SOX or similar audit controls.
