Analyst

Working Title: Financial Analyst
Location: onsite at Mission Center Building (MCB)
Period of performance: Immediate to an estimated 8 months (but duration depends on need, so time can vary).

**Update 4/2: We are seeking a highly analytical Accounting or Financial Analyst with experience supporting accounts payable functions within a complex, high-volume environment. The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in accounting or finance, with the ability to interpret data, identify trends, and support process improvements beyond routine transaction processing. This role requires someone who can work independently, understand end-to-end financial processes, and collaborate cross-functionally with finance, procurement, and operational teams. Experience in hospital or university environments is preferred, along with familiarity with large ERP systems such as Oracle. Candidates should demonstrate stability in their work history, strong problem-solving skills, and the potential to transition into a long-term, full-time role.

What we are NOT looking for
• Candidates whose experience is primarily transactional AP (invoice entry, 3-way match, check runs)
• Titles such as Accounts Payable Specialist, AP Clerk, or AP Processor as their primary background
• Profiles heavily focused on high-volume processing without analytical or accounting depth
• Candidates with short-term, contract-heavy work history without stability
• Junior-level candidates or those with limited experience in accounting or finance
• Candidates without a bachelor's degree
• Profiles lacking exposure to broader financial processes (reconciliations, reporting, analysis, process improvement)**

Update 3/17: They are NOT looking for a transactional AP processor. They want a high caliber Accounts Payable Analyst with strong analytical ability, broader accounting exposure, and long term potential.

Requirements:
• Bachelor's degree required
• Experience in hospital or university environment strongly preferred
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills
• Ability to understand complex processes and work independently
• Experience beyond basic invoice processing, including reconciliations, reporting, or process improvement
• Comfortable working in fast paced, high volume environments
• Strong communication and ability to partner with internal teams
• Stable work history with longer tenure, not heavily contract based
• Someone they could potentially convert to a full time employee
• If GHX and the Oracle Fusion Cloud are too difficult to source, we would accept candidates who have some AP experience and can demonstrate the ability to learn quickly and can be proficient quickly in a fast-paced environment
• Oracle Fusion Cloud preferred
• GHX preferred

Important notes:
• Avoid candidates who are primarily transactional AP processors
• Prioritize candidates who demonstrate critical thinking, adaptability, and the ability to ramp quickly"

**We are seeking experienced Accounts Payable professionals who can step into a high-volume AP environment and contribute with minimal ramp-up time. Candidates should have strong knowledge of the full accounts payable lifecycle, including invoice processing, coding, payment processing, vendor issue resolution, and compliance with procure-to-pay policies.

Experience with Oracle Financials Cloud (Oracle Fusion) is strongly preferred. However, if candidates do not have direct Oracle Fusion Cloud experience, the team is open to strong Accounts Payable professionals with experience in other large ERP systems who are quick learners and comfortable adapting to new systems.**
