A contact in our network has shared an opening for a SAP Finance, Banking & Tax Consultant at a prominent firm. This is a critical contract position that offers the flexibility of remote work, with the expectation of travel to Kansas City, Missouri, to support key project milestones. The successful candidate will join the Finance Transformation Department, working directly with the SAP Delivery and Implementation Team. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to high-impact government transformation initiatives, and the ideal candidate will possess strong analytical skills, excellent communication abilities, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

This role is centered on leveraging your expertise to support a significant modernization effort. The primary responsibility of the consultant is to analyze and translate complex business requirements into functional SAP S/4HANA designs. This is the foundational step of any successful implementation, requiring a keen understanding of both business processes and SAP functionalities. The consultant will be directly involved in supporting SAP Finance, Banking, and Tax processes, with a particular focus on the execution of payment runs. This means you will be a key resource for ensuring financial transactions are processed accurately and efficiently.

Furthermore, a critical part of the job involves configuring and troubleshooting various SAP modules, specifically SAP Accounts Payable (AP) and DME (Data Medium Exchange). This requires a hands-on approach to problem-solving, where you’ll be responsible for diagnosing and resolving issues that arise during implementation and ongoing support. The consultant will also participate in testing, implementation, and documentation activities to ensure all solutions are robust, well-documented, and fully functional before they go live. A collaborative spirit is essential, as you’ll be expected to work with cross-functional teams to ensure successful project delivery.

To be considered for this role, you must have specific and highly specialized qualifications. The most crucial requirement is an active Top Secret Clearance (Q Clearance preferred). This is a non-negotiable prerequisite, as the work involves sensitive government projects. In terms of education and experience, a minimum of a 2-year degree or 4 years of equivalent professional experience is required. The ideal candidate will have intermediate experience with SAP S/4HANA and SAP FI Bank Accounting, demonstrating a solid understanding of these core technologies. Experience with SAP payment run implementation and execution is also a key requirement, as this is a central function of the role. Given the hybrid nature of the work, the willingness to travel up to 50% during key project milestones is also essential.

This contract position offers a competitive hourly pay rate and is a unique chance to work on high-impact government transformation initiatives. You’ll gain exposure to advanced SAP technologies and enterprise environments, all within a collaborative, mission-driven team culture. The opportunity to contribute to national-level financial modernization is a significant benefit, providing a sense of purpose beyond day-to-day tasks.
