Design profit center and segment structures that deliver P&L visibility by brand, banner, channel, region, and category, aligned with merchandise, article, and location hierarchies.
Define profitability analysis (Margin Analysis) characteristics and value fields, and the allocation, assessment, and cost-to-serve logic that supports retail and fashion margin reporting.
Establish finance master data governance — ownership, standards, naming conventions, and change processes — including SAP MDG-F, and lead the mapping and migration of legacy structures to the target model.
Lead large, diverse project teams (onshore and offshore), maintaining quality, scope, and stakeholder alignment throughout delivery.
Advise on SAP's Business AI strategy — identifying where well-structured finance data can enable AI-driven insight, automation, and predictive accounting in Finance and Retail operations.
Contribute to thought leadership, reusable assets, and best-practice templates to grow Accenture's SAP Retail capability.
