About The Position

Dokainish & Company is seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst to join their consulting team, supporting a large-scale SAP S/4HANA implementation for a client in the nuclear sector. This role focuses on driving SAP Finance solution design, process improvement, and stakeholder engagement to ensure efficient, compliant, and scalable financial operations. The position involves reviewing and refining existing finance user stories, as the engagement is in the design phase with user stories already drafted. The role requires bridging finance domain expertise with SAP functional configuration, collaborating with both business stakeholders and technical delivery teams.

Requirements

• 4-year university degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 6-8 years of relevant experience in finance business analysis and SAP functional work.
• Strong functional expertise in SAP Finance with hands-on configuration experience, including demonstrated S/4HANA Finance delta knowledge such as the Universal Journal (ACDOCA), new Asset Accounting, new General Ledger and parallel ledgers, and Group Reporting. Experience limited to ECC FICO is not sufficient on its own.
• Demonstrated end-to-end knowledge of finance processes including R2R, P2P (AP), O2C (AR), and Asset Accounting.
• Proven experience leading business process improvement initiatives and driving operational efficiencies within finance functions.
• Ability to translate complex business requirements into structured functional designs and testable deliverables.
• Experience supporting the full project lifecycle, including requirements gathering, design, testing, deployment, and post-go-live support.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to facilitate workshops and influence cross-functional teams.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation skills, including experience developing process documentation and training materials.
• Must be legally eligible to work in Canada without sponsorship.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with the capital-project-to-asset flow, including Project System and WBS, settlement of assets under construction to fixed assets, and Investment Management, is strongly preferred given the capital-intensive nature of the client.
• Experience within a regulated or audited environment (for example nuclear, utilities, or energy) and awareness of financial controls and segregation of duties is an asset.

Responsibilities

• Lead finance process assessments to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and control issues across SAP (ECC and S/4HANA) workflows.
• Facilitate workshops with Finance stakeholders to gather requirements, define future-state processes, and align on measurable outcomes.
• Review and refine the existing drafted user stories for the finance workstream, ensuring they are complete, correctly scoped, and testable, and confirming acceptance criteria before build.
• Design and configure SAP Finance solutions, including Record to Report (R2R), Procure to Pay (P2P/AP), Order to Cash (O2C/AR), Asset Accounting, and banking and cash processes.
• Design and validate the capital-project-to-asset flow, including Project System and WBS, Investment Management, and settlement of assets under construction to fixed assets, in line with the needs of a capital-intensive organization.
• Translate business requirements into clear functional specifications, configuration designs, and testable acceptance criteria.
• Partner with development and integration teams to deliver enhancements, interfaces, workflows, forms, and reporting solutions, accounting for finance integration points with MM, SD, PS, and PM.
• Lead functional and module-level testing for the finance workstream, including test script development, defect triage, and regression validation, in coordination with the QA Lead who owns the overall program test strategy, integration testing, and automation.
• Support deployment activities including cutover planning, data validation, hypercare, and production support with root-cause analysis.
• Act as a trusted advisor to Finance stakeholders on SAP-enabled process improvements, compliance, controls, and best practices.

Benefits

• We take immense pride in our high-performing, collaborative team.
• We recognize and value the uniqueness of every individual, and you’ll be part of a growing consulting firm where your expertise will directly shape project outcomes and client success.
