What I'm looking for
I’m an Oracle ERP and Oracle EPM (Planning & Budgeting) functional consultant with deep experience implementing, supporting, and integrating business applications across finance and enterprise planning. I’ve worked with Oracle ERP R12 and Oracle Fusion, including Hyperion Planning (EPBCS/PBCS), and I build and maintain models, dashboards, and reports for budgets, allocations, actuals, forecasts, and encumbrances.
My background combines finance, reporting, and IFRS-focused accounting decision support with end-to-end system delivery.
