Summary

With over 20 years of extensive experience in SAP systems, I bring a wealth of knowledge as an SAP FICO Consultant. Throughout my career, I have been involved in six projects, including two full-cycle implementations, four rollout projects, and production support. My expertise spans the entire project lifecycle, from analysis and design to implementation and development. I have a strong background in creating blueprints, configuring systems, conducting testing (both unit and integration), and providing training. My advanced configuration skills encompass various areas such as General Ledger, Asset Accounting, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Electronic Bank Accounting, Product Cost Controlling, Cost Center Accounting, and Internal Order Accounting. Moreover, I have extensive experience in implementing country-specific settings for Mexico, Canada, and the US. Understanding the business processes of P2P (Procure to Pay), OTC (Order to Cash), E2E (End to End Operations), and their integration with FI CO is one of my strengths. Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented modules and sub-modules including General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets, Special Ledger, Plant Maintenance CO, Material Ledger, Bank Accounting, Product Costing, Internal Order Accounting, and Cost Center Accounting. I also possess advanced knowledge of SAP New GL on SAP S/4 HANA. In addition to my technical expertise, I have gained valuable experience working with multicultural teams across various industries such as Medical, Automation, Consumer Electronics, and Semiconductors. This exposure has honed my ability to collaborate effectively with professionals from diverse backgrounds around the globe. Overall, my extensive experience in SAP systems coupled with my strong technical skills make me a valuable asset for any organization seeking an SAP FICO Consultant.
