Responsibilities

Own end-to-end ERP implementations for Burkland clients, including chart of accounts design, module configuration, workflow automation, and user acceptance testing. Document implementation decisions and maintain project trackers throughout each engagement.
Evaluate existing ERP environments and identify gaps, inefficiencies, or misconfigurations.

Deliver training sessions, create user documentation, and proactively surface system improvements that align with client growth milestones.
Support the monthly close process within client ERP systems including journal entries, reconciliations, revenue recognition (ASC 606), and financial reporting. Ensure the system accurately reflects the client's accounting policies and audit requirements.
Manage data migrations from legacy systems (QuickBooks, Xero, spreadsheets) into modern ERP platforms. Collaborate with tech and product teams to scope and oversee third-party integrations (Stripe, Brex, Ramp, Salesforce, etc.) using native automation tools or iPaaS solutions.
Identify opportunities to streamline financial workflows through automation and cross-functional collaboration. Stay current with platform releases, best practices, and the evolving startup finance tech stack.
