Financial Systems Administrator (Sage Intacct)

Financial Systems Administrator (Sage Intacct)

Job Summary

The Financial Systems Administrator serves as the technical owner and administrator of the organization’s financial systems ecosystem. This role is housed within the IT department and partners closely with Accounting and Finance to ensure Sage Intacct and its integrated platforms are optimized, secure, and aligned with organizational needs. This position is hands-on and highly technical, focused on system administration, automation, integrations, and continuous improvement—not day-to-day accounting activities.

The Financial Systems Administrator will operate as the primary and sole administrator responsible for maintaining and enhancing financial systems that support operational efficiency, reporting accuracy, and executive decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary system administrator for Sage Intacct, including configuration, security, workflows, permissions, and roles

• Own and manage integrations and APIs between Sage Intacct and connected platforms, including Salesforce (CRM) and MARTUS (budgeting)

• Implement and manage Sage Intacct quarterly releases, including testing, deployment, and user readiness

• Lead financial systems optimization initiatives, including system clean-up, process automation, and performance improvements

• Support major system modernization and rehaul initiatives

• Implement and maintain automation for expense management, bill pay, and approval workflows

• Deploy and support AI-enabled tools (e.g., Sage Co-Pilot) for error detection and operational efficiency

• Build and maintain executive-level dashboards and reports to support forecasting and strategic decision-making

• Partner with Accounting and Finance to ensure systems align with business processes while remaining IT-owned

• Utilize Agile project management practices, including sprint planning and prioritization

• Troubleshoot system issues and provide advanced technical support related to financial systems

• Maintain system documentation, controls, and best practices

Required Qualifications

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience administering Sage Intacct in a production environment

• Proven experience managing ERP system configurations, workflows, roles, and permissions

• Experience managing ERP integrations and APIs between financial systems and other platforms

• Demonstrated ability to independently own and support financial systems in a solo or lead administrator capacity

• Strong technical problem-solving and system optimization skills

• Ability to support accounting and finance teams without performing day-to-day accounting tasks

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting nonprofit, church, or mission-driven organizations

• Salesforce integration experience

• Experience with MARTUS or similar budgeting platforms

• Familiarity with Agile or sprint-based project management methodologies

• Experience building executive-facing dashboards and reporting tools

Working Conditions

• Onsite role supporting a complex, integrated financial systems environment

• Position requires independent work, technical ownership, and collaboration across IT and Finance

Note: This is not a traditional financial analyst role. It blends Sage Intacct system administration, a high proficiency in accounting, strong analytical ability, and familiarity with Salesforce nonprofit modules and financial system integrations. The ideal candidate will serve as the bridge between accounting operations and technology, ensuring both accuracy and efficiency across platforms.
