The senior accountant plays a critical role in the accuracy and completeness of the capital related general ledger for the Group’s retail businesses. This includes ensuring financial integrity and acting as the bridge between Endeavour’s onshore Business Units and the offshore team. This ensures the accurate and timely delivery of core Record to Report activities.

This role is integral to enabling both standing up of capital related accounting processes, ensuring rigorous SAP S/4HANA testing execution, and managing the end-to-end knowledge transfer and process transition to our offshore delivery team. This role is also responsible for ensuring the transition of capital assets from Great Plains to SAP.
