Accounting Configuration & Financial Integrity

- Design and configure the accounting foundation of each implementation: chart of accounts mapping, GL posting accounts, account segmentation, and integration setup between mill operations and the financial system.
- Configure and validate inventory costing methodology (standard, average, FIFO/LIFO as applicable), cost roll-ups, variance accounts, and work-in-process treatment for batch manufacturing.
- Set up and test AR, AP, and GL integration points between Feed Mill Manager / Pennent Mill Manager and accounting systems, including batch posting, distribution accuracy, and error handling.
- Validate that manufacturing, shipping, receiving, and billing transactions produce correct financial results, and lead reconciliation of sub-ledgers to the general ledger during parallel testing.
- Advise on pricing, contract, freight, discount, and tax configuration and their downstream accounting impact.

Training, Documentation & Team Contribution

- Deliver end-user and administrator training across operational and financial workflows, tailored to mill operators, office staff, controllers, and executives.
- Develop and maintain training documentation, user guides, configuration workbooks, and internal knowledge base materials.
- Troubleshoot configuration, process, and data-related issues with clear, timely customer communication.
- Contribute implementation insights and lessons learned back to the delivery and support teams to improve methodology.
- Manage multiple engagements simultaneously while completing administrative responsibilities time entry, status updates, taskray and recap documentation accurately and on time.
