Explore a world of opportunity in Oracle SAAS EPM-FCCS Senior Functional Analyst jobs, a pivotal career path at the intersection of finance and cutting-edge cloud technology. Professionals in this role are the key architects and custodians of an organization's financial consolidation and reporting integrity, leveraging the Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud (FCCS) module. They act as the crucial bridge between financial business users and technical IT teams, translating complex accounting requirements into robust, efficient, and scalable system solutions within the broader Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) landscape. A typical day for a Senior Functional Analyst revolves around the end-to-end lifecycle of the FCCS application. Their primary responsibility is to design, configure, and maintain the FCCS system to accurately automate and streamline the financial close process. This involves deep collaboration with finance stakeholders to gather and analyze business requirements, particularly concerning complex consolidation rules, intercompany eliminations, and equity adjustments. They are then responsible for translating these requirements into a functional system design, often creating and managing dimensions, metadata, business rules, calculation scripts, and data integration workflows. A significant part of their role includes developing and validating key financial reports, such as income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements, often utilizing tools like SmartView for management and ad-hoc analysis. Beyond implementation, these senior analysts provide ongoing support and optimization. They troubleshoot system issues, perform reconciliations to ensure data accuracy between the general ledger and FCCS, and lead user acceptance testing and training sessions. Their expertise is critical for integrating FCCS with other systems, most commonly the source General Ledger (like Oracle Fusion GL), other EPM Cloud modules (such as Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service - PBCS, and Enterprise Data Management Cloud Service - EDMCS), and various data sources. To excel in these jobs, individuals must possess a unique blend of functional finance knowledge and technical acumen. A strong background in accounting and finance is non-negotiable; they must thoroughly understand financial statements, GAAP/IFRS standards, and the intricate mechanics of corporate consolidations. On the technical side, 5+ years of hands-on experience with Oracle EPM Cloud, specifically FCCS, is a standard expectation. Key skills include proficiency in application design, business rule development, report creation, and data management. Furthermore, exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills are paramount for successfully liaising between technical and financial teams. For those with this powerful hybrid skill set, Oracle SAAS EPM-FCCS Senior Functional Analyst jobs offer a challenging and rewarding career, driving financial transparency and strategic decision-making for modern enterprises.
