Reports To: Controller

Employment Type: Full-Time, Non-Exempt

Position Summary

SOLID Surface Care seeks a hands-on Certinia ERP specialist to strengthen and expand its existing Salesforce-native financial systems.

SOLID is a private equity–backed, acquisition-driven services business with approximately $100 million in annual revenue.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Lead a structured assessment of existing Certinia configuration, modules, business processes, integrations, data integrity and underutilized functionality; develop a prioritized improvement roadmap with the Controller and Finance leadership.

Own hands-on Certinia configuration and enhancement delivery, including requirements, solution design, configuration, testing, deployment and post-launch support; distinguish changes requiring external developers or consultants.

Partner with Finance to optimize applicable general ledger, accounts receivable, invoicing/billing, revenue processes, financial close, reconciliations, entity structures and management reporting; confirm actual modules and licenses before scoping work.

Improve quote-to-cash and work-order-to-billing handoffs across Salesforce and Certinia, collaborating with IT and operations on integrations, exception handling and data ownership.

Build or improve financial reporting, dashboards, audit trails, approval workflows and system controls to support timely, reliable decision-making and close processes.

Identify opportunities for workflow automation, standardized configurations and reduction of manual spreadsheets or workarounds.

Define test plans, support user acceptance testing, document changes, and manage release readiness with appropriate change controls.

Support financial systems integration of acquisitions, including mapping, data migration requirements, validation and standardized onboarding.

Create practical system documentation, SOPs and role-based training; support users and triage complex application issues.

Partner with IT on architecture, Salesforce administration boundaries, integrations, security, vendor management and change governance; avoid duplicating the responsibilities of existing Salesforce support roles.

Coordinate and oversee specialized Certinia implementation partners when needed, including deliverables, knowledge transfer and solution quality.
