The Role

As a Senior Implementation Specialist on the Animal Nutrition team, you will lead customers through the configuration, validation, and go-live of our feed mill and formulation software with a particular focus on getting the accounting side right.

Feed mill ERP lives or dies on the accounting foundation beneath it: inventory valuation, cost roll-ups, batch costing, general ledger mapping, and clean posting into Dynamics GP,Cloud Accounting or other agnostic accounting packages. This role is for someone who has actually closed a month, reconciled an inventory sub-ledger to the GL, and can sit across the table from a controller and speak their language. This is a remote position that requires periodic travel to customer sites.

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.
