Maxonic maintains a close and long-term relationship with our direct client. In support of their needs, we are looking for a Finance Operations Analyst.

Job Description:

Job Title: Finance Operations Analyst

Job Type: Contract

Job Location: Pleasanton, CA, Boise, ID, Chicago, IL OR Plano, TX

Work Schedule: Remote

Pay Rate: $55-65 Based on experience.

Job Description

The contractor will support Project T REX (Oracle conversion) by creating and maintaining finance-facing reporting, end-user training materials, and SOP documentation for new Oracle-based processes that impact Inventory Accounting and Accounts Payable. The role will act as a “translator” between functional accounting needs and day-to-day system execution by documenting standardized procedures, building job aids, and producing clear communications for field/corporate stakeholders as we approach WIRE go live.

Key outcomes include:

· Develop SOPs, quick-reference guides, and training decks for Oracle process changes affecting inventory and AP.

· Produce “what’s changing / what’s not changing” communications and user-impact summaries, including documentation of workarounds where applicable.

· Build/maintain reporting views and trackers to support readiness, cutover, and early-life support (ELS) needs for finance/accounting stakeholders.

· Support the project team by capturing decisions, updates, and action items in a structured format suitable for broad distribution and audit-ready reference.

Required Role Experience:
- Translating FDDs, test cases, and functional requirements into clear, business-ready documentation
- Oracle Fusion Financials (practical, business-facing usage)
- Inventory and cost accounting, including Costing, Landed Costing, and Perpetual Average Cost (PAC)
- AP mismatches and downstream impacts (AP resolution, journal entries, financial outcomes)
- PAC cost changes and cost corrections, including understanding root cause vs. system mechanics
- Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) for analysis and operational reporting
- BI Publisher (BIP) for controlled, distributable financial reporting
- Additional reporting resources external to Oracle are expected to be included
- Proven SOP and documentation experience for a business audience, focused on “how finance operates” rather than technical configuration details

Ideal Candidate Profile:
- Strong business and finance background, with hands-on accounting experience (as opposed to primarily IT or configuration-focused roles)
- Demonstrated ability to own and explain financial outcomes, not just system behavior

Candidate Requirements:

· 3–7 years in accounting operations, finance process documentation, or ERP enablement roles with demonstrable SOP/training deliverables.
Degrees or certifications required

· Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or equivalent experience.

· Nice-to-have: CPA, CMA, or formal documentation/training certification (not required).

Top Candidate Skills
Must have (stack ranked)

1. Business writing + communication: ability to convert complex process changes into clear SOPs, job aids, and training material for mixed audiences (finance + operations).
2. Oracle UI familiarity / ERP navigation: comfortable capturing steps, screenshots, and exceptions from Oracle screens and workflows to build training and SOPs. (1–3+ years)
3. Inventory + AP accounting knowledge: understands accounting impacts, common failure modes, and control points (e.g., incorrect accounting, invoice processing issues, reconciliation needs). (3+ years)

Like to have (stack ranked)

1. Training development experience (quick guides, micro-learning, facilitated training sessions, LMS-friendly content). (1–3+ years)
2. Reporting/analytics proficiency (Excel/Power BI/SQL) to produce readiness trackers and finance support reports. (2+ years)
3. Change management / go live support (ELS playbooks, known-issue logs, workaround catalogs, stakeholder comms). (1–3+ years)
