Accounting operations center for METRO/MAKRO group, migrating to SAP S/4HANA
METRO Global Solution Center is the accounting backbone for METRO/MAKRO, a multinational wholesaler spanning 30+ countries. The org is mid-migration to SAP S/4HANA while standardizing finance processes across the group — a major systems consolidation effort reflected in both active projects (global ERP rollout, CO/IM module optimization, R2R digitization) and the finance-heavy hiring mix (9 of 12 open roles). Pain points cluster around internal control implementation and process harmonization across geographies, suggesting the core challenge is making a complex, distributed accounting function auditable and consistent.
METRO Global Solution Center operates as a shared services hub for accounting, financial operations, and process improvement within the METRO/MAKRO group. The center delivers financial operations, SAP solutions, business process management, automation, and data analytics to support the parent company's 30+ country footprint and 93,000+ employee base. Primary tech stack centers on SAP (CO, FI/CO, S/4HANA), supplemented by Power BI, MicroStrategy, SQL, and BigQuery for analytics, with RPA and Signavio for process optimization. Active workstreams include a digital finance roadmap (LUCA program and R2R sub-project), SAP S/4HANA rollout, internal control enhancement, and fixed assets process benchmarking. The team is headquartered in Szczecin, Poland.
