Have you ever been involved in accounting software implementations?
It is common for companies to change or upgrade their accounting software every few years. A controller is heavily involved with all stages of the implementation. The implementation of these updates typically involves meetings with all stakeholders and user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure proper implementation.
"Yes, at my current company we implemented new software two years ago. I was heavily involved with the process. First, we met with the IT consultants who were managing the implementation. In these meetings we discussed how we currently used our current software and what enhancements we would like to implement. Then, as the modules were built out I participated in user acceptance testing to make sure the modules were working properly. Finally, when modules were finalized I trained others on my team."
