Our Toronto based client is seeking an experienced SAP S/4HANA Finance (FI) Record to Report (R2R) (GL) & Allocations Lead Lead to join their project immediately on a long term contract. The ideal candidate should have 8–12 years of total experience, with at least 5 years in SAP Finance R2R, and should have completed two or more full lifecycle implementations.

- Design and build the period-close process: close calendar, task sequencing, accruals, provisions and the close cockpit.
- Own intercompany design: postings, settlement, elimination inputs and reconciliation.
- Design the interlock between engagement postings and the GL alongside the Engagement Management workstream.
- Lead fit-to-standard sessions for R2R scope; document design and secure controller sign-off.
- Build and execute test scenarios across the close cycle; support GL and open-item data migration.
