Business Consulting - R2R and FP&A Workstreams Manager - Open Location

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraphs about EY, opportunity, responsibilities, qualifications, what we offer (including salary range). We must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse content: - About the role: The intro paragraphs: "Location: Anywhere in Country At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence. We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world. The opportunity Our Finance Consulting practice is a core driver of the Americas Consulting growth agenda, with the Technology, Media & Entertainment and Telecommunications (TMT) sectors representing a significant share of the portfolio. We are seeking a Manager with deep Record-to-Report (R2R) and/or Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) expertise and Media & Entertainment (M&E) sector fluency to lead the design and delivery of technology-enabled finance transformations." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that as

About the role

then

with that content. - Responsibilities: The "Key Responsibilities" section includes many bullet-like sentences separated by periods but not bullet list. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to split each responsibility into list items. The responsibilities are long sentences; we can break at each sentence that starts with a verb. Let's extract them: "Lead end-to-end R2R workstreams across the full taxonomy: master data, fixed assets, projects, periodic close, intercompany, sub-consolidation and corporate consolidations, and financial reporting." "Lead end-to-end FP&A workstreams across the full taxonomy: Long-range/strategic planning, revenue planning, cost of sales planning, other SG&A planning, workforce planning, EBITDA planning, and cashflow planning, Driver-based Planning, Budgeting, Forecasting and Scenario management." "Assess and redesign Record-to-Report and FP&A operating models, processes, and organizational structures; develop and deliver transformation initiatives that improve close and reporting effectiveness, planning and forecasting capabilities, governance, and overall finance function performance." "Own business process design deliverables - L3 and L4 process flows, key design decisions and assumptions, functional and reporting requirements, KPIs, and master and transactional data requirements." "Facilitate design and solutioning workshops with client Global Process Owners (GPO), business unit leads, subject matter resources (SMR) and Technology stakeholders; drive to decisions and document dispositions." "Manage day-to-day delivery: workplan, RAID log, scope, deliverable quality and engagement economics, including onshore/offshore mix and global delivery leverage." "Translate R2R pain points into quantified value cases — close cycle time, close efficiency, manual journal entries, and automated account reconciliations." "Translate FP&A pain points into quantified value cases — forecasting effectiveness, forecast accuracy, budget cycle duration, forecast cycle duration, revenue opportunities identify, working capital improvements identified, and cost reduction opportunities realized." "Coach and develop staff and seniors; contribute to proposals, Phase 0 assessments and sector thought leadership." Then sector-specific knowledge: many paragraphs. Those could be considered part of Responsibilities? Might be separate "Sector-specific knowledge" but not a standard heading. Could be included under Responsibilities as more detail. But we need to decide sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine responsibilities and sector-specific knowledge under Responsibilities. Or we could have a separate "Sector Expertise" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we must fit content into those. Thus we can put sector-specific knowledge under Responsibilities as part of the role. - Requirements: The posting includes "Qualifications" section: Bachelor’s degree..., 6+ years..., Proven Media & Entertainment sector experience., Strong executive communication..., etc. That's qualifications. Could be "Qualifications" heading. Also there may be "Requirements" but we have qualifications. We'll use

  Qualifications

  and list items. - Skills: Could be extracted from qualifications: "Strong executive communication, workshop facilitation and written deliverable skills." Also technology experience list: Hands-on experience with one or more of the following: SAP S/4HANA..., SAP Group Reporting..., SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and/or Anaplan, Blackline, Trintech..., Fiori Reporting..., etc. That's skills. So we could have a Skills section. - Benefits: The "What We Offer You" includes professional growth, personal fulfillment, inclusive culture, plus Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, wide range of paid time off options. Also maybe "Learn more at ey.com/us/careers." That's benefits. So we can have Benefits section. - Pay: Salary range details given. So we need Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned. So we omit Schedule. - Requirements: Could be separate from Qualifications? The posting doesn't have explicit "Requirements" besides qualifications. We could treat Qualifications as Requirements. But we have both headings allowed; we need to decide. Since we have Qualifications, we can omit Requirements to avoid thin sections. Or we could put Requirements as the same as Qualifications but that would be duplicate. Better to have Qualifications only. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to extract content precisely, preserving all substantive information, not inventing or summarizing away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Must remove duplicated lines. We need to ensure we keep all specifics: location "Anywhere in Country". The intro includes "Location: Anywhere in Country". Should we keep that? It's location info. It's substantive. We'll include in About the role paragraph. Now we need to format. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Location: Anywhere in Country. At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence. We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world. The opportunity Our Finance Consulting practice is a core driver of the Americas Consulting growth agenda, with the Technology, Media & Entertainment and Telecommunications (TMT) sectors representing a significant share of the portfolio. We are seeking a Manager with deep Record-to-Report (R2R) and/or Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) expertise and Media & Entertainment (M&E) sector fluency to lead the design and delivery of technology-enabled finance transformations." Make sure we keep all details. Now Responsibilities: We'll list each bullet as
• . Need to include sector-specific knowledge paragraphs as list items? They are long paragraphs; we could break them into separate list items each covering a topic. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep them as list items each containing the paragraph. That's okay. Let's list responsibilities: 1. Lead end-to-end R2R workstreams across the full taxonomy: master data, fixed assets, projects, periodic close, intercompany, sub-consolidation and corporate consolidations, and financial reporting. 2. Lead end-to-end FP&A workstreams across the full taxonomy: Long-range/strategic planning, revenue planning, cost of sales planning, other SG&A planning, workforce planning, EBITDA planning, and cashflow planning, Driver-based Planning, Budgeting, Forecasting and Scenario management. 3. Assess and redesign Record-to-Report and FP&A operating models, processes, and organizational structures; develop and deliver transformation initiatives that improve close and reporting effectiveness, planning and forecasting capabilities, governance, and overall finance function performance. 4. Own business process design deliverables - L3 and L4 process flows, key design decisions and assumptions, functional and reporting requirements, KPIs, and master and transactional data requirements. 5. Facilitate design and solutioning workshops with client Global Process Owners (GPO), business unit leads, subject matter resources (SMR) and Technology stakeholders; drive to decisions and document dispositions. 6. Manage day-to-day delivery: workplan, RAID log, scope, deliverable quality and engagement economics, including onshore/offshore mix and global delivery leverage. 7. Translate R2R pain points into quantified value cases — close cycle time, close efficiency, manual journal entries, and automated account reconciliations. 8. Translate FP&A pain points into quantified value cases — forecasting effectiveness, forecast accuracy, budget cycle duration, forecast cycle duration, revenue opportunities identify, working capital improvements identified, and cost reduction opportunities realized. 9. Coach and develop staff and seniors; contribute to proposals, Phase 0 assessments and sector thought leadership. 10. Sector-specific knowledge: Media & Entertainment Film and television title accounting: understanding of studio and content finance processes including title cost accounting, ultimate-based amortization and forecast management, participation and residuals (P&R) calculations and settlements, content asset impairment, title profitability reporting, and integration of production, rights, distribution and financial systems supporting the content lifecycle. 11. Content cost accounting and amortization: management of film, television and sports programming rights assets; capitalization policies, impairment considerations, amortization methodologies, reporting under large content portfolios. 12. Close, consolidation and reporting complexity: legal entity and business-unit consolidation across studios, networks, streaming platforms, parks and experiences; intercompany eliminations; multi-currency reporting; carve-outs and acquisitions; and management reporting across diverse revenue streams and distribution channels. 13. Streaming and D2C financial performance: subscriber, ARPU, churn, acquisition cost and lifetime value metrics embedded into forecasting and management reporting; revenue, content cost and profitability analysis across subscription and advertising-supported business models. 14. Advertising, distribution and content forecasting: revenue planning across linear, digital and programmatic advertising; affiliate and distribution revenues; theatrical releases; content licensing; sports rights; and scenario modeling for audience performance, advertising demand and release schedules. 15. Performance management and profitability analytics: title-, franchise-, channel-, platform- and customer-level profitability reporting; variance analysis; KPI development; margin performance monitoring; and executive dashboards supporting strategic and operating decisions. 16. Financial planning complexity: annual budgets, rolling forecasts and long-range plans that account for seasonality, production schedules, release calendars, advertising market volatility, subscriber growth and major sporting or entertainment events. 17. Ecosystem awareness: studios, broadcasters, streaming platforms, distributors, advertisers, agencies, sports leagues, content owners and production partners, and how business model differences impact forecasting assumptions, financial reporting and performance management requirements. We need to ensure we didn't lose any nuance. The original had some sentences like "Sector-specific knowledge: Media & Entertainment Film and television title accounting: understanding of studio and content finance processes including title cost accounting, ultimate-based amortization and forecast management, participation and residuals (P&R) calculations and settlements, content asset impairment, title profitability reporting, and integration of production, rights, distribution and financial systems supporting the content lifecycle." We kept that. Now Qualifications: list items: - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; MBA or CPA a plus. - 6+ years of progressive experience in finance transformation, R2R or FP&A process design; Controllership or FP&A operations; consulting experience strongly preferred. - Proven Media & Entertainment sector experience. - Strong executive communication, workshop facilitation and written deliverable skills.
