The Project
Providing the financial lead (Project Manager) for the initial bid, scoping, analysis, design and implementation of PeopleSoft system including all of the finance, supply chain, manufacturing and planning modules.
The project was located in Wijchen, Netherlands, Angers, France and 9 other countries and was an extremely complex “principal and commissioner” fiscal structure with multiple manufacturing plants in Europe.
Additionally with the complex fiscal nature of the client, we had to supply expertise in VAT and Intrastat reporting to ensure the system met all of the reporting requirements in this area. This included acting as the clients representative with Eurostat (the Statistical Office of the European Union) to define their method of Intrastat reporting
