Financial Manager Jobs in South Carolina

Position Summary

The Manager, Financial Systems & Solutions (FSS) is an individual contributor within Vertiv's Americas Controllership team, reporting to the Director, FSS. This role focuses on post-merger integration from a finance and accounting perspective — assessing acquired entities' ERP environments, aligning transaction flows to Vertiv standards, and resolving accounting issues that arise during and after integration. The ideal candidate brings three core strengths: a solid accounting foundation (able to follow debits and credits end-to-end through an ERP), critical and investigative thinking (able to diagnose complex issues independently and self-learn new systems and business models), and exceptional organizational discipline (able to manage multiple concurrent workstreams with rigor and accountability). Beyond M&A, this role supports ERP configurations, process enhancements, and system-driven accounting issue resolution across the Americas.

• Develop and execute integration playbooks covering process alignment, data readiness, system adoption, and stabilization milestones.

• Define conversion and mapping requirements to migrate acquired entity data and transactions into Vertiv's ERP environment.

• Identify and remediate accounting issues discovered during due diligence or integration, including subledger misconfigurations, incorrect transaction flows, and control gaps.

• Prepare integration reports and readiness gate documentation for executive and M&A team review.

Process Enhancement & Accounting Issue Resolution

• Identify and track the resolution of system-driven and process-driven accounting issues, including subledger errors, SLA misconfigurations, reconciliation failures, and close-related discrepancies.

• Design and implement process improvements that reduce manual effort, increase auditability, and strengthen internal controls.

• Apply the FSS "value first, then robustness" approach: deliver rapid, controlled solutions to close short-term gaps, then industrialize them through ERP configuration and formal controls.

• Develop Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), Functional Requirements Documents (FRDs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and control documentation as needed.

• Administer and respond to IT Service Now tickets assigned to Controllership/FSS activities.
