Key Responsibilities (Strategy & Configuration):

  • Bank Reconciliation: Investigate and fix bank statement lines that fail to auto-reconcile with system transactions.
  • Adaptive User Support: Troubleshoot access issues for budget managers and fix broken formulas in Adaptive sheets.
  • Asset Management: Correct asset depreciation errors or rollback incorrect asset disposals.
  • FDM Governance: Review and approve requests for new Cost Centers or Ledger Accounts, ensuring they map correctly to Adaptive.
