Accenture Edge - Oracle Financials Lead

About the Role

As a senior Oracle Financials practitioner, you will lead the full functional workstream on Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials transformations—from solution design through go-live and hypercare. You will hold command-level expertise across the Oracle Financials suite, working at the intersection of finance operations, technology, and business transformation. At the Senior Manager level, you will own the Financials workstream end-to-end, lead and develop a team of functional consultants, and serve as the primary functional authority for client CFOs, Controllers, and Finance leadership. You will shape how finance functions operate, not just configure Oracle.

Responsibilities

• Lead the Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials workstream across the full project lifecycle—from requirements and design through build, test, cutover, and hypercare—ensuring delivery quality, timeline adherence, and client satisfaction.
• Own solution design for GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Cash Management, and Advanced Collections, including chart of accounts design, accounting rule frameworks, payment processing, asset lifecycle, collections strategy, and period-close architecture.
• Facilitate executive-level requirements workshops and design sessions with client CFOs, Controllers, and Finance leadership; document business requirements, solution design decisions, and functional specifications with precision.
• Define and enforce functional configuration standards across the Financials workstream; review and approve configuration workbooks, functional design documents, and test scripts produced by the team.
• Partner with integration, data migration, reporting, and technical workstream leads to resolve cross-stream design dependencies and ensure end-to-end solution coherence.
• Lead Oracle Financials data migration strategy—define migration scope, validate mapping rules for financial master data and open balances, and sign off on data quality prior to cutover.
• Govern functional testing across SIT and UAT—review test scenarios, facilitate defect triage with client Finance teams, drive resolution, and obtain business sign-off on Financials workstream readiness.
• Advise clients on Oracle Financials best practices and out-of-the-box capabilities; challenge unnecessary customization and guide clients to adopt standard cloud processes where appropriate.
• Manage Financials workstream risks and issues proactively—identify, escalate, and present options to program leadership and client stakeholders; maintain a current functional risk register.
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Oracle Financials functional consultants; assign workstream responsibilities, review deliverables, and build team capability across the Financials suite.
• Support Accenture Edge business development—lead functional solutioning for mid-market Oracle Financials pursuits, contribute to proposals, and represent the Financials practice in client orals.
• Contribute to Accenture's Oracle Financials asset library—reusable configuration templates, design accelerators, and process playbooks for mid-market deployments.

Travel may be required for this role, ranging from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

Requirements

• Minimum 8 years of Oracle Financials implementation experience, with at least 5 years leading the Financials functional workstream on Oracle Cloud ERP programs.
• Minimum of 5 years of hands-on configuration expertise across three or more Oracle Fusion Financials modules: GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Cash Management, Advanced Collections.
• Minimum of 5 years working with core finance and accounting processes: chart of accounts design, sub-ledger accounting (SLA), procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, fixed asset lifecycle, period-close, and financial reconciliation.
• Minimum of 4 years leading and managing teams of functional consultants—setting direction, reviewing deliverables, resolving escalations, and developing talent.
• Minimum of 4 years engaging and presenting with authority to CFO, Controller, and VP-level client stakeholders on solution design, risks, and program status.
• Minimum of 4 years working in a structured program delivery environment—managing functional scope, timeline, and quality against project milestones.
• Minimum of 2 full-cycle Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials implementations owned end-to-end—from solution design through go-live.
• Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent (12 years) work experience (If an Associate’s Degree, 6 years of work experience).

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on expertise in Oracle Advanced Collections—strategy management, work queues, scoring, dunning, and integration with AR.
• Experience with Oracle Subledger Accounting (SLA)—journal line rule design, mapping sets, and multi-book accounting for complex enterprise structures.
• Knowledge of Oracle Financials data migration tools—FBDI, ADFDI—and experience validating migrated financial balances and open items.
• Experience delivering Oracle Financials in Accenture Edge / mid-market contexts—right-sized solutions, accelerated timelines, and lean functional teams.
• Knowledge of AI-driven Finance automation—intelligent AP invoice processing, predictive collections, automated reconciliation—and how Oracle Cloud natively enables these capabilities.
• Experience with Oracle Financials reporting—OTBI, FRS, Smart View—and the ability to design reporting frameworks aligned to client close and consolidation requirements.
• Oracle Fusion Cloud Financials implementation certification.
• CPA / CA designation and/or MBA.
