Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # SAP S/4HANA Finance Transformation Consultant - **Company:** Accenture - **Location:** Manchester, UK - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Data Integrity, SAP (Applications), SAP S/4HANA - **Published:** August 17, 2026 - **Apply:** https://jobs.theguardian.com/job/10174101/sap-s-4hana-finance-transformation-consultant/ ## About the Role Your finance transformation expertise. Proven experience delivering SAP S/4HANA finance transformations, in consulting or in industry. You can take a client's business strategy and finance objectives and turn them into S/4HANA-enabled process designs across Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay and the related finance domains. You lead and contribute to fit-to-standard and design decisions, balancing SAP best practice against the client's specific value, control and operating-model needs, and you use structured analysis and value-led recommendations to work through complex, ambiguous problems. Delivering across the programme. Hands-on experience across the phases of an S/4HANA programme - discovery and envisioning, fit-to-standard and design, business integration and testing, and deployment and stabilisation. You bring a solid understanding of period-end close, finance controls and reporting in an S/4HANA environment, and you can use the platform's capabilities to simplify and standardise how finance runs. You act as the bridge between business and technology, working closely with SAP delivery and integration teams while keeping ownership of the finance and business agenda. Working with finance stakeholders. You're comfortable facilitating workshops with senior finance stakeholders to define future-state processes, co-developing and securing design decisions, and aligning finance, tax, operations and technology around them. You build trusted relationships and have the credibility to challenge and influence finance leaders on the calls that matter. As you grow, you'll contribute to how we win and shape work too - supporting bids, helping shape finance transformation propositions, and articulating CFO-relevant value. Ways of working. We're increasingly an AI-first delivery team - bringing agentic tooling and orchestration into how we design, analyse and validate, with our people owning the judgement and the outcome. If you already work this way, that's a real plus, and we're keen to hear from people bringing that experience. Qualification Who you are You take ownership and follow through, and you're comfortable in the ambiguity that comes with complex client organisations. You work well in a team, build trusted relationships across finance, operations and technology, and communicate clearly - you can run a discovery session with a client and explain a design call to a mixed room with equal ease. You bring good judgement and critical thinking to problems that don't arrive fully formed. You're early in your trajectory and set on building the rest. Things that set strong candidates apart: experience of S/4HANA finance transformations in complex environments (multi-country, multi-entity, or integrated ERP landscapes); familiarity with fit-to-standard delivery and SAP Activate methods, and a pragmatic sense of where differentiation actually earns its keep; experience designing finance processes with controls, compliance and data integrity built in; an understanding of how intercompany, transfer pricing, tax or treasury concepts interact with core finance; experience across both public and private cloud S/4HANA programmes; and a professional finance or accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent industry experience). If you have most of this and the drive to build the rest, we want to hear from you - tell us what you'd bring. ## Related Videos - [Exploring 5 Key Applications of AI Abundance with Blockchain Assurance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/971-exploring-5-key-applications-of-ai-abundance-with-blockchain-assurance) - [Independently together: how micro-applications improve developer experience + app performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/452-independently-together-how-micro-applications-improve-developer-experience-app-performance) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Replacing Excel with SAP APIs & Python validation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1944-replacing-excel-with-sap-apis-python-validation) - [Startup Presentation: StorX - Future of Cloud Storage](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1176-startup-presentation-storx-future-of-cloud-storage) - [When AI Runs the Business: The Reality of Enterprise-Wide Automation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100124-when-ai-runs-the-business-the-reality-of-enterprise-wide-automation) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [How to Answer the “Why Should We Hire You” Interview Question](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/321-how-to-answer-the-why-should-we-hire-you-interview-question) - [Promotion Interview Questions: How to Answer and Get the Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/413-promotion-interview-questions-how-to-answer-and-get-the-job) - [How to Respond to the “Why Do You Deserve a Promotion?” Question](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/416-how-to-respond-to-the-why-do-you-deserve-a-promotion-question) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer)
