Finance Transformation Advocate (from Consultant to Senior Manager)

How can the finance function evolve to become a true strategic partner to the business? What are the most pressing trends in finance today: ESG reporting, real-time forecasting, or AI-driven planning? How do we define and measure the ROI of finance transformation initiatives? How can we streamline processes like budgeting, closing, and reporting while ensuring compliance and control? What does a future-ready finance operating model look like, and how do we get there? How do we embed a culture of agility, innovation, and continuous improvement within finance teams? Which digital tools (ERP upgrades, automation, advanced analytics) should we prioritize to modernize our finance operations? Among agile, waterfall, or hybrid approaches, which methodology best fits our transformation roadmap?

These are just a few of the complex, high-impact questions we help our clients answer by combining strategic insight, deep financial expertise, and hands-on implementation experience.

Role Overview

As a Finance Transformation Consultant, you will support leading organizations in reshaping their finance functions to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving business environment. You will drive end-to-end transformation initiatives, optimizing finance strategy, operating models, and core processes such as Order-to-Cash (O2C), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Record-to-Report (R2R), and FP&A.

At the manager level and beyond, you will lead project delivery, guide multidisciplinary teams, and foster digitization through technologies like SAP S/4HANA and emerging AI solutions. You will design and implement future-ready finance operating models, enhance controlling and performance steering, and develop advanced reporting and forecasting frameworks.

You’ll also play a key role in client relationship management—partnering with CFOs and senior stakeholders to identify opportunities and deliver impactful solutions. As part of Capgemini Invent, you’ll contribute to business development, thought leadership, and the growth of our Finance Transformation community.

• Develop and implement future-ready finance operating models, covering accounting, controlling, and performance management

Example: Design and implement a global target operating model that centralizes accounting activities in shared services centers.

• Promote the adoption of digital tools such as SAP S/4HANA and assess the impact of emerging technologies (e.g., AI) on finance functions

Example: Evaluate AI use cases in finance (e.g., predictive forecasting, smart reconciliations) and define implementation roadmaps.

• Supervise delivery teams, review outputs, provide coaching, and ensure high-quality deliverables

Example: Oversee and coach junior team members in their day-to-day tasks, ensuring outputs meet both client expectations and firm standards.

• Build trusted relationships with CFOs and finance leaders, identifying opportunities and shaping transformation agendas

Example: Collaborate closely with Finance Leadership to co-develop finance transformation roadmaps aligned with strategic business objectives.
