More:

We are looking for a highly experienced Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance Functional Architect to join a major enterprise finance transformation. This is a specialist Finance role rather than a broad D365 F&O position, focused on deep expertise across Accounts Receivable, Cash & Bank Management, taxation, payments and Subscription Billing. The programme is moving a large home installations finance operation onto an existing D365 F&O environment, covering billing, deposits, revenue recognition, consumer finance, payments, refunds, reconciliation and financial reporting. Many target processes are still to be defined, so this is a hands-on functional architecture and discovery role rather than simply implementing an established design. We need a senior D365 Finance specialist who can work with Finance stakeholders, understand the accounting problem and determine how it should be represented within Dynamics, including where standard F&O functionality will not be enough.
