Financial Systems Analyst, Fintech

Optasia is a real-time financial intelligence company. We build precision intelligence that unlocks financial opportunity at scale, running millions of automated credit decisions every day across high-growth markets where formal credit data is limited. Our AI-powered platform turns permitted behavioural data and real-time signals into precise, responsible credit decisions. Embedded within the systems of telcos, banks, digital wallets and other partners, it helps them extend relevant financial services to more people while maintaining strong portfolio control and opens profitable new segments that were previously out of reach. This is how Optasia turns potential into financial progress, responsibly and at scale.

As Financial Systems Analyst, you administer and troubleshoot the integrations, master data and configuration that connect Optasia's finance operations to its enterprise systems - and you support the accuracy and timeliness of the financial data those systems produce. You'll sit between IT and Finance : monitoring interface jobs, resolving sync errors, managing master data across five platforms, keeping the month-end calendar on track, and acting as the first point of technical contact for the finance system landscape, including direct ticket management with our SAP implementation partner.

What you will do

Daily & Routine Operations

• Monitor and validate daily FX rate processing jobs, ensuring currency data is current and accurately reflected across financial systems

• Monitor the SAP SuccessFactors -> finance systems data feed, diagnosing sync errors and restoring alignment between HR and financial records

Master Data Management

• Create and maintain supplier master records in SAP ByDesign, ensuring completeness and accuracy of vendor information
• Set up new General Ledger (GL) accounts in accordance with the company's chart of accounts and financial reporting requirements

Month-End Close & System Administration

• Execute period open/close procedures during the first week of each month across relevant systems, coordinating with Finance to meet reporting deadlines
• Issue monthly timesheet reminders via SAP Analytics Cloud to support accurate time recording and project cost allocation
• Open new projects in SAP and maintain existing project structures, keeping data current to support financial planning and reporting

System Support, Escalation & Vendor Coordination

• Act as the first point of contact for system-related issues, raising and managing support tickets with the SAP partner for SAP ByDesign and SuccessFactors
• Track open tickets through to resolution, following up with consultants and communicating progress and business impact to Finance and internal stakeholders

Systems environment

You'll work daily across a modern, cloud-based finance/IT stack:

• SAP ByDesign : Core ERP - GL, suppliers, entities, projects, period close, procurement

• Solid accounting knowledge (chart of accounts, GL structure, month-end close, master data) combined with hands-on SAP or other cloud ERP experience
• Comfort with system troubleshooting, data reconciliation and interface/integration monitoring - you don't need to be a developer, but you're not afraid of logs, error queues or a support ticket
• Working knowledge of SQL, Excel automation (formulas/macros/VBA), or scripting (e.g. Python) for data validation is a strong plus
• Experience with ticketing/ITSM tools (e.g. Jira, ServiceNow) and coordinating with external vendors/consultants is an advantage
