Role Overview 

As a Workday Accounting Center Lead Consultant, you will drive customer transformation through the revision and creation of Workday reports, and analytic solutions using Prism Analytics and Accounting Center, based on both customer requirements and our capability best practices.

  • Configure enrichment stages, mapping tables, and journal header/line rules to transform high-volume business events into detailed and summarized journals; ensure correct multi-currency precision. 

  • Support the full Accounting Center lifecycle — discovery, build, batch processing, troubleshooting, error handling, and reconciliation — with a clear understanding of the accounting implications of the data being transformed, while maintaining full data lineage from journal back to source. 

  • Mentor junior consultants, suggest tool/process enhancements to benefit the practice, and rotate through Consulting and AMS delivery, meeting defined SLAs. 

Minimum (Essential) Requirements 

  • Workday Advanced Reporting certification; essential experience in Advanced, Matrix, and Composite Reporting. 

  • Workday Prism Analytics certification, with demonstrable prior hands-on Prism delivery experience. 

  • Solid understanding of Workday Financials 

  • Strong customer orientation in an advisory environment; able to build relationships, manage expectations, and know when to escalate.

  • Able to work within (remote) teams and independently, plan own workload, meet deadlines, and facilitate workshops. 

  • Maintains high quality, accuracy, and confidentiality; able to travel to in-region customer sites as required.
