Workday Finance Consultant

Role Overview

Location: Remote
Contract Duration: 6+ Months (through December 2026, with possibility of extension)

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Workday Finance Consultant to support our Workday ERP transformation efforts. While the broader program encompasses cross-functional workstreams, this role is scoped specifically to Finance.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and test Workday configurations to optimize in-scope Finance process areas across the Procure-to-Pay and Quote-to-Cash cycles.
• Automate end-to-end invoice generation and delivery by enabling Workday Document Delivery, migrating invoice layouts from BIRT to Doc Layouts, and consolidating contract-based invoicing.
• Centralize AP invoice intake and deploy Workday OCR for automated ML-based invoice field population, shifting AP operations from manual data entry to exception management.
• Replace an RPA-based cash application process with a direct BAI2 bank statement integration and configure Workday Auto-Application Rules and ML-assisted payment matching to automate cash posting.
• Build and customize Finance reports and dashboards to support operational decision-making, compliance, and financial reporting.
• Partner with functional leads to gather requirements, document design decisions, and validate solutions through unit, system, and parallel testing.
• Troubleshoot production issues and provide hyper-care support following the deployment of re-designed configurations.
• Document configuration decisions, design specifications, and configuration workbooks to enable knowledge transfer to internal teams.
• Identify and recommend opportunities to leverage delivered Workday functionality in place of manual workarounds or legacy customizations.

What You'll Need (Required)

• Minimum of 5 to 7 years of Workday configuration experience with a strong focus on Workday Financials across multiple functional areas.
• Demonstrated expertise across the core Workday Financials footprint: General Ledger, Financial Accounting, FDM, Projects, AP/AR, Banking and Settlement, and Expenses.
• Strong understanding of core accounting principles and the Workday data model (worktag structures, spend category hierarchies, cost center frameworks, and business process definitions).
• Working knowledge of how AP and AR transactions flow through to the General Ledger and how transaction-level activity affects period close and financial reporting.
• Experience configuring Workday cash application, including auto-application rules and payment matching logic.
• Experience with BAI2 bank statement integration and configuring bank transaction matching within Workday.
• Familiarity with Workday Document Delivery and Doc Layouts for invoice generation and distribution.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate Finance business requirements into Workday configuration solutions.
• Experience configuring and tuning business processes, including approval routing, condition rules, and validations.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Proven ability to operate independently as a remote contractor.

Preferred Qualifications

• Workday Pro certification in Contracts-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, or Record-to-Report.
• Familiarity with Workday Integration tools (EIB, Core Connectors).
• Working knowledge of SOC 2 control requirements.
• Familiarity with Databricks as a data lake platform.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, or a related field.

Interview Process

• 2 virtual technical interviews.

Physical Demands

• Ability to safely and successfully perform the essential job functions consistent with the ADA and other federal, state, and local standards.
• Sedentary work that involves sitting or remaining stationary most of the time.
• Ability to conduct repetitive tasks on a computer utilizing a mouse, keyboard, and monitor.
