A Belgian banking organisation is transferring selected Finance activities from internal teams to an external supplier, mainly across financial accounting and reporting. The Subject Matter Expert Finance will document existing processes, support the customer-to-supplier hand-over process, and translate bank accounting, bank reporting and regulatory requirements into clear operating guidance. The work supports a finance function in Brussels, Belgium and uses specialist tools including OFS, Perseus, Concorde and Ambre.
The mission
The programme covers process and organisational documentation, knowledge transfer and operational readiness for financial accounting and reporting activities. The hand-over includes training, shadowing, reverse shadowing, go-live and aftercare, with regulatory alignment and audit readiness built into the deliverables. The environment includes bank accounting and regulatory reporting through FINREP, COREP and Scheme A, alongside accounting, consolidation, management control and internal financial control. This work maintains reporting quality and control evidence as responsibilities move between organisations.
As a senior Finance business process analyst, you will own the functional view of the activities in scope and work with operational teams, management, the incoming supplier and programme stakeholders. Your day-to-day work combines interviews and analysis with structured documentation, workstream planning, governance preparation and issue follow-up. You will clarify complex business, risk and regulatory requirements, convert them into functional specifications and hand-over guidelines, and keep decisions, dependencies and controls traceable.
