- Identify opportunities to automate manual steps (e.g., imports, recurring entries, approvals, standard reports).
- Maintain a backlog of change requests and enhancements; facilitate prioritization with Finance/Operations leadership.
- Enforce change management standards: sandbox testing, documentation, and approvals before production changes.
- Monitor data quality (e.g., open items, unmatched transactions, inactive masters) and partner with process owners to remediate.
- 3–5+ years of hands-on Sage 100 configuration/administration, including at least one full implementation or major upgrade.
- Strong functional knowledge in:
- Accounting (GL, AP, AR, reconciliations), and
