Solution Architect FinOps

Candidate Description

Marked by a rare blend of entrepreneurial drive and deep technical mastery, this Solutions Architect brings over 13 years of hands-on experience crafting and extending Microsoft Dynamics AX and Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations solutions. Having served clients across professional services, consulting and financial services sectors, they demonstrate exceptional skill in designing payroll, finance and HR capabilities tailored to complex Australian legislative needs. A proven track record of leading full-cycle ERP initiatives underscores their commitment to quality, compliance and user-centric outcomes.

Their technical acumen is showcased through expert-level X++ development, SSRS reporting, Data Migration Framework usage and the automation of intricate upgrade processes. Notably, while contracting through an International Recruitment Firm, they engineered a script-generation framework that slashed upgrade effort from weeks to days. At a Payroll Solutions Provider, they architected an end-to-end Single Touch Payroll solution within Dynamics 365—eliminating reliance on external systems and positioning clients for streamlined compliance with a Taxation Office. Comfortable across installation, configuration, customisations and data migration, they thrive in Agile delivery environments and champion best-practice development standards.

Beyond coding, this professional excels at mentoring teams, translating business requirements into scalable architectures and engaging stakeholders through clear, solution-focused communication. Their leadership of a start-up product (a Payroll Solutions Provider) highlights commercial acumen and resilience, while prior roles at an IT Consulting Firm, a Financial Services Firm and a Consulting Firm demonstrate adaptability across diverse project landscapes. Collectively, these experiences enable them to deliver transformative ERP solutions that reduce risk, accelerate value realisation and empower organisations to operate from a single source of financial truth.
