The day-to-day

• Own the Finance Integration Playbook, covering ERP migration, chart of accounts alignment, intercompany setup, treasury onboarding, and control framework extension for every acquired entity
• Lead finance planning and execution for each transaction, managing Day 1 deliverables including opening balance sheet, banking migration, and payroll transition, and Day 100 deliverables in coordination with the Principal SAP Finance & Data
• Conduct finance due diligence before deals close, including financial model sense-checks, hidden liability audits, data quality assessments, and Day 1 readiness checklists drafted pre-signing, and track synergy realisation from Day 1 with clear, structured reporting to senior stakeholders
• Partner with the ICS Lead to extend Helsing's control framework to every new entity within ninety days of close, ensuring controls are operational rather than notional
• Use AI agents to accelerate finance due diligence, including auto-classification of trial balance anomalies and flagging of revenue-recognition risks, and deploy LLM-powered document synthesis to produce integration status reports, Day 1 checklists, and synergy tracking dashboards

• Have worked with SAP during cutover periods and are comfortable with finance data migration tooling such as LSMW, LTMC, or the S/4HANA migration cockpit
