Senior Oracle EBS Finance functional consultant delivering end-to-end ERP transformations and production support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Oracle E-Business Suite Finance Functional Consultant (R11/ R12.2.x) with more than 20 years of experience delivering end-to-end Oracle Financials implementations, business transformation initiatives, cloud migration programmes, and production support.
I combine a strong accounting foundation with deep technical-functional Oracle expertise, partnering at a high level with CFOs, Financial Controllers, auditors, and IT leadership. I’m also expert across the complete Record-to-Report (R2R), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), and Order-to-Cash (O2C) lifecycles.
In my delivery work, I bridge governance and execution using Oracle AIM (BRD, BR100, FDD, MD050), and I support releases through CRP, SIT, UAT, and PROD management. I balance Waterfall for core configuration stability with Agile for fast-paced, iterative enhancements.
Across industries including financial services, government, healthcare, manufacturing, and commercial sectors, I focus on dependable operations, rigorous AIM documentation, and clear stakeholder management. Whether it’s functional analysis, SOA/integration troubleshooting, or IFRS 17 and Financial Accounting Hub (FAH) workstreams, I aim to improve outcomes through structured root-cause analysis and effective training.
