Finance/Accounting/CPA - ERP Team Lead (VP Level)

I have a full time opportunity for a very unique role that needs a candidate with CPA type skills, preferably VAT accounting experience, that can support the internal Workday ERP system. The candidate does not need to come out of investment banking although our client is one of the top 10 investment banks in Midtown Manhattan. Another plus is that I don't necessarily need someone with Workday. Oracle, SAP, or another ERP system would be sufficient and the candidate could learn Workday as an ERP. The Accounting and Finance skills are most important This is a VP level role and previous investment banking experience is not necessary Knowledge of Workday is preferred but not mandatory, SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, etc is acceptable This is 3 days onsite, 2 days remote.
