Profile
I am a fully qualified Chartered Accountant with over 17 years of experience working
with SAP.
I would summarise myself at work as an enthusiastic, motivated and determined
individual with a very positive attitude and a reputation as a key team player who is keen
to take responsibility and who delivers results of the highest standard.
In total I have participated in 22 projects, including 9 global roll outs of which 3 were end
to end and 1 a Blueprint.
At the request of a client I also project managed the EMEA roll out of an enhanced
global PS solution and, separately, the roll back of this solution into the Americas region.
My roles have been varied and include Project Manager (2), Deputy Project Manager
(1), Integration Consultant (3), Order to Cash Lead (1), Lead Technical Consultant CO
(10), FI (5), COPA (6) and Application Consultant (4), sometimes filling multiple roles on
the same project.
Over the course of the FICO and Support Projects I have worked on and been
responsible for all the core areas of FI, i.e. GL (old and new), AP, AR, AA and Banking.
Over the second half of my career I have chosen to focus mainly on projects with a high
proportion of CO, in particular those incorporating my specialist and favourite areas of
functionality, i.e. Product Costing, Profitability Analysis, Group Valuation, Material
Ledger and Actual Costing, whilst still involving myself with the range of FI functionality,
old GL, AP, AR and new i.e. parallel ledgers and parallel valuation (GL 6.0).
In addition to FI and CO I have gained over 7 years configuration and implementation
experience of Project Systems as well as good process, functional and configuration
knowledge in the SD, MM and PP modules, something I consider a necessity for all
good CO Consultants.

Rank Xerox
I was involved in the Release 2 Localisation Phase of a global SAP template.
My objective was to help develop a PC based tool from the SAP Globalisation Database.
For each of the countries in Release 2 (12) this provided details of those areas in FI
where local accounting, or legal, requirements were at odds, or in direct conflict, with the
template.
These areas of functionality were to form the basis of workshops with each of the
countries to find solutions to these ‘gaps’.
The end result being Change Requests wherever changes, or modifications, to the
template were required.
I also spent some time writing functional specifications for BW reports which were to
form part of the monthly corporate reporting pack, and for BW reports which were to
form part of the annual Tax pack.

Dec 2002 to June 2003 - CO Consultant
KPMG (Dublin)
I was responsible for the realisation of the CO Blueprint and in particular those areas of
the design outside the original blueprint scope, i.e. Results Analysis and WIP. It was the
need for someone with experience of these specific areas that led to me being assigned
to the project.
I designed and configured PS-CO to satisfy very specific client’s requirements in the
areas of WIP calculation and accounting and helped to integrate this into the overall,
heavily customised, Resource Related Billing solution.
My work led to closure of significant project issues and gaps and I was able to gain
useful knowledge in the area of Resource Related Billing.

of realisation.
During realisation I played a key role in the integration of the overall solution, particularly
in ensuring the seamless interaction of PP, CO, SD and the significant developments
associated with the sales process.
The key SAP areas of focus were Product Cost Planning, Product Costing by Sales
Order, Product Costing by Order, Profitability Analysis, Overhead Cost Controlling, Profit
Centre Accounting and Financial Accounting.
I took responsibility in the US for testing of the integrated solution and associated
developments and gained useful knowledge of the PP module and associated
processes.

The key areas of focus from a SAP perspective included Product Cost Planning, Product
Costing, Profit Centre Accounting, and Financial Accounting. I also had responsibility for
overseeing work on a possible Profitability Analysis implementation.
My presence on the project was directly as a result of a client request based on previous
work done with Alstom.

strategy meetings towards the end of realisation following the departure of the Project
Manager.
