Systems Accountant
Summary: Because the flow of financial information is today carried on complex financial packages, often meshed in to bigger ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, there is often a need, in bigger businesses, for systems accountants.
You will work on identifying, integrating and developing financial systems to meet the ever-changing needs of the business whilst also having an ongoing involvement in management accounting or project issues and their budgetary impacts.
Background: You don't necessarily have to have had exposure to the many financial packages on the market but a solid grasp of IT and an ability to learn quickly are essential.
Career Progression: Can get further in to the I.T and systems side (well remunerated in today's market) or revert back to more mainstream finance, perhaps as an analyst.
