YASH Technologies is Hiring - Lead Consultant - S4hana Fico

Role Purpose

Own the delivery and support of the integrated Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) solution across an 18-company-code, multi-country S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition landscape. This is a hands-on senior role for someone who can move fluently between statutory finance and management accounting closing the loop from raw-material cost through product cost to margin and consolidated group results and who can lead a workstream through SIT, data migration, cutover, and hypercare rather than advise from the sidelines.

Key Responsibilities — Finance (FI)

Own the FI configuration validation across G/L, AP, AR, Asset Accounting, and Bank Accounting for all in-scope company codes, on the S/4HANA Universal Journal (ACDOCA) model.

Design and govern the multi-country chart of accounts, ledger and currency setup, and parallel valuation (group/IFRS and local GAAP), including document splitting and the non-leading ledger design.

Lead intercompany accounting design, including the Germany–Luxembourg principal model and cross-company-code postings across the 18 entities.

Own period-end and financial-close design and orchestration, including tax, withholding, and country-specific statutory and e-invoicing/compliance requirements across NA, EU, KSA, India, and Mexico.

Direct the AP automation agenda — invoice ingestion, three-way match, MIRO/FB60 posting, and document archiving — and its finance-side controls, working with the BTP/automation team.

Key Responsibilities — Controlling (CO)

Own the CO design across Cost Element, Cost Center, Internal Order, Profitability Analysis (margin analysis on the Universal Journal), and Product Costing.

Lead Product Cost Planning and the cost estimate / costing-run design (BOM- and routing-driven cost build-up, activity rates), including its use in cost-plus sales pricing (EK02 / margin-condition design).

Own Material Ledger and Actual Costing design and activation — including the migration and mock-cycle issues that come with it — given standard-price valuation and multi-currency requirements.

Design overhead, settlement, and period-end CO close, and the PP/CO and PS/CO integration (production and project cost flows).

Key Responsibilities — Group Reporting & Integration

Own or co-own SAP Group Reporting (S/4HANA Consolidation) design: consolidation units/groups, FS-item mapping, currency translation, and intercompany elimination.

Ensure clean FI-CO integration and cross-module integrity with MM (procurement/inventory valuation, GR/IR), SD (revenue, COGS, billing), PP (production cost), PM, PS, and EWM.

Own the finance number-range, master-data, and org-structure readiness across all company codes.

Delivery Responsibilities

Lead the FICO workstream through SIT, UAT, and integration testing — authoring and executing test cases and driving defect resolution to closure.

Own FICO data migration design and mock-cycle execution (asset balances, open items, cost master data, Material Ledger), resolving load errors and reconciling migrated balances.

Own cutover planning and execution for finance, and lead hypercare and the first statutory close post-go-live.

Produce and maintain BRDs, functional specs for RICEFW objects, and configuration documentation to program standards.

Required Qualifications & Experience

10+ years SAP FICO, with at least 3–4 full-cycle implementations where the individual personally owned both FI and CO (not one or the other).

Demonstrable depth in S/4HANA (not just ECC) — Universal Journal, New Asset Accounting, and the S/4 finance data model — ideally on Private Cloud Edition / RISE.

Hands-on Product Costing and Material Ledger / Actual Costing experience — a firm requirement, not a nice-to-have, given the manufacturing (polymer compounding) context.

Multi-company-code, multi-country, multi-currency delivery experience, including parallel ledgers and local statutory/tax requirements.

SAP Group Reporting (or a comparable SAP consolidation tool) design experience.

Strong FI-CO integration knowledge and working fluency with the MM/SD/PP touchpoints that drive finance postings.

Professional accounting qualification (CA / CPA / CMA / ACCA or equivalent) strongly preferred — someone who understands the accounting, not only the configuration.

Proven ability to lead a workstream and coordinate with cross-functional module leads, an implementation partner, and business stakeholders.

Preferred / Differentiators

Manufacturing or process-industry finance experience (chemicals, polymers, or similar).

Exposure to SAP BTP-based finance automation (Document AI / DOX, Build Process Automation) and finance-relevant Fiori app design.

KSA e-invoicing (ZATCA), India GST, and Mexico CFDI familiarity.

Experience through a go-live cutover and first statutory/consolidated close on S/4HANA.

Key Competencies

Bridges statutory finance and management accounting fluently; strong reconciliation and problem-solving discipline; clear communicator across business and technical audiences; comfortable owning ambiguity and driving decisions to closure under a fixed go-live date
