SAP FI-CO consultant

Lupus Consulting is delivering an SAP implementation project for a multinational client with Ukrainian operations. We are looking for a hands-on SAP FI-CO consultant with broad finance expertise and proven experience in the Ukrainian localization. You will join a multi-disciplinary implementation team (finance, logistics, technical and integration) and own the financial accounting design and configuration. You will be the go-to person for Ukraine-specific tax and legal requirements, in particular the Tax Voucher (tax invoice) and Down Payment (advance) processes. Key Responsibilities

• Run fit-to-standard / design workshops and document finance requirements for the Ukrainian entity.

• Design, configure and test the FI-CO solution across the core finance areas:

• General Ledger, closing and period-end processes
• Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, including dunning, payment runs and bank integration
• Fixed Assets (Asset Accounting)
• Treasury / cash and bank management
• Controlling basics (cost centers, profit centers, internal orders)

• Design and implement the Ukrainian localization, with a focus on:

• Tax Voucher process: creation, registration and reporting of tax invoices, including integration with the VAT reporting and the legal e-document flow.
• Down Payment process: advance payments and requests, VAT treatment, tax invoices for advances, and clearing against final invoices.
• Ukrainian VAT, statutory reporting and local accounting requirements.
• Integrate FI with the other modules (SD, MM/PTP, PS and others) together with the functional leads.
• Prepare test scenarios, support SIT/UAT, resolve defects and support cutover and data migration for finance objects.
• Write functional specifications for technical team members (ABAP, integration) and review the results.
• Provide knowledge transfer and end-user documentation, and support hypercare.

• 6+ years of SAP FI-CO experience, including at least 2 full-cycle implementations.
• Good working knowledge of most FI areas: GL, AP, AR, Asset Accounting and Treasury / Bank Accounting.

• Hands-on experience with the Ukrainian localization, demonstrated in both:

• the Tax Voucher (tax invoice) process, and
• the Down Payment (advance) process, including its VAT implications.
• Solid understanding of Ukrainian VAT and tax invoice legislation, as it applies to SAP.
• Ability to work independently and communicate clearly with business users, project managers and other consultants.
• Fluent English, written and spoken.
• Availability for the full 6-month duration.

Nice to Have

• Ukrainian language (spoken and written); this is a plus, not a requirement.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA (the exact release is to be confirmed) and Fiori finance apps.
• Experience with SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (DRC) or e-document / e-invoicing solutions.
• Exposure to multinational / multi-country rollouts and global templates.
• Experience with SAP Activate or similar project methodologies.
• Good knowledge of Controlling processes (product costing, profitability analysis).
