We are looking for a Finance Systems Specialist to join a 12-month contract opportunity based in Waterloo, Ontario. This position is ideal for someone who combines strong Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central expertise with a solid understanding of finance operations and can guide cross-functional teams through complex ERP delivery milestones. You will play a key role in supporting implementation progress, coordinating go-live readiness, and helping stabilize the environment after launch while partnering with Finance, IT, and external vendors.

Responsibilities:
• Lead finance systems activities related to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, ensuring project priorities remain aligned with operational and reporting needs.
• Coordinate stakeholders across Finance, IT, and third-party partners to move implementation work forward and resolve issues in a timely manner.
• Support preparation for go-live by organizing testing, validating readiness, and helping teams address gaps before deployment.
• Oversee user acceptance testing efforts by defining test approach, reviewing outcomes, and ensuring business requirements are properly validated.
• Provide day-to-day guidance on Business Central functionality so internal teams can operate more independently and escalate only complex matters when needed.
• Assist with post-launch stabilization by monitoring issues, prioritizing fixes, and improving system usage across finance processes.
• Contribute to data review and cleanup activities to improve accuracy and support a reliable system environment.
• Identify opportunities to streamline financial workflows, strengthen reporting practices, and enhance system configuration over time.

• Proven experience working on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central implementations, including involvement through deployment and stabilization stages.
• Strong project leadership skills with the ability to influence multiple stakeholder groups in a matrix environment.
• CPA and/or strong finance or accounting background with the ability to interpret system requirements from a financial operations perspective.
• Hands-on experience with ERP platforms, including Microsoft Dynamics 365 and related finance system processes.
• Background in user acceptance testing, issue tracking, and business process validation within ERP projects.
• Ability to work effectively in multi-entity or complex organizational settings with competing priorities.
• Experience supporting financial reporting, month-end activities, consolidations, or process improvement initiatives is considered an asset.
