Role Overview
An experienced IFS Finance Consultant is required for an initial 6-month engagement, supporting a global distribution business through its IFS Apps10 to IFS Cloud deployment. The Nordics business unit has already transitioned onto IFS Cloud, and the next phase of the programme will roll this out to the UK & Ireland business, building on the established Nordics template. You'll lead on the UK-specific finance legislative requirements within this deployment - including VAT, HMRC submissions and related statutory reporting - ensuring the localisation is accurate, compliant and fit for a UK & Ireland finance function.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead on UK finance legislative requirements within the IFS Cloud deployment, including VAT and HMRC submissions.
• Localise and adapt the existing Nordics IFS Cloud template for the UK & Ireland business.
• Partner with finance and IT stakeholders to ensure UK statutory and regulatory requirements are correctly reflected in the solution design.
• Support data migration, testing strategy (SIT/UAT) and go-live readiness for UK finance processes.
• Provide functional expertise on IFS Finance throughout design, build, test and cutover phases.
• Produce clear functional documentation to support a compliant, maintainable solution.

Key Skills & Experience

• Professional finance qualification (AAT/ACCA/CIMA), a BSc/MSc in Finance or Accounting, or a strong financial background.
• Strong hands-on experience with IFS Finance (IFS10/IFS Cloud); knowledge of the IFS Project Management module highly advantageous.
• Deep understanding of finance transformation and ERP best practice.
• Proven experience delivering UK finance legislative requirements - VAT, HMRC submissions (including Making Tax Digital) - within at least one full IFS Cloud implementation.
• Experience supporting an Apps10-to-Cloud migration or comparable ERP cloud transformation.
• Ability to work from an established template or blueprint and localise it for a new market/region.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, comfortable operating remotely within a distributed, multi-region team.
• Solid understanding of UK statutory accounting and compliance requirements.
