The ERP Risk and Automation Services (ERAS) Consulting practice assists with various consulting, internal, and external audit clients by bringing in-depth ERP, data analytics, and continuity skills where needed. Our ERAS practice is a group of highly specialized, multi-disciplined individuals with experience in multiple regulations and standards including accounting, government, and data privacy to meet the needs of our clients in the upper mid-market.

The ERP risk team is typically engaged in complex, non-transactional, at times leading edge engagements that include but are not limited to ERP implementation risk assessments, security and controls design on ERP implementations, or security and controls improvements for clients operating on large ERPs like SAP, Oracle, or Dynamics, segregation of duties assessments, and key report testing.

We desire a confident individual who is able to both think strategically about risk and control management, while also being task oriented and capable of meeting the tight deadlines that often come with implementation‑related work. We are seeking an individual looking for career growth in a fast‑paced environment, with accelerated leadership opportunities. A rewarding work‑life balance is possible with this role, as most of our national engagements are remote.
