SAP FICO Career

Hi All
I was thinking of making a career in SAP FICO, please can you suggest if this is the correct decision and how/ what needs to be done for that?
I am currently working as a accounts staff for a financial services company, I have a total of 5 years of experience working as an accountant (of which I was working as a SAP FICO end user for 3.5 years wiith my previous employer....around 2years back) and I am a part qualified accountant along with a graduation in commerce.
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.
Kind Regards
AR SHAH

Hi,
Yes you can go for it.
For that i will suggest that you take training from SAP authorized education training partner and get SAP FI certificed. This will help you to nurture your knowledge and will make you an SAP Certified Consultant. Being a certified consultant will give u an edge over other FI consultants.
Being hands on .. and having a domain exp .. will def .. make the certification test easy for you.
All d Very Best !!!

Hi Mahesh,
as you have more than 6 yrs. experience , you can opt for sap field but the main thing is that still if your job hunt will get ended, you will be considered as ab fresher, so are you ready for those bucks you will get after you will become a sap FI/CO consultant.
Please understand one thing , if you wnats to make your career in sap field, you are most welcome, when it comes to a job for you in SAP FI/CO , you have to consider in your brain only middle or small size industry, because as far as i concern no single major company will provide you exposure to work with them (if you will get, its your good fortune). So, if you have decided to take a step ahead in sap FI/CO i will not give you negative thinking, if you are ready to negotiate in your renumeration in starting your career, then you can take a foot ahead, but look a job in middle size or small companies only, i think through this you will get any exposure more easily.

From SAP ABAP to SAP FICO consultant

Hi Experts,
Hope you all are doing good in your area.
I want your guidance for my sap career ahead .
I have 4 years of experience in SAP as an certified ABAP Consultant.
With this year of experience I have worked on technical developments of SAP PP/MM/FICO/SD modules.
Now I want to move as an Functional Consultant for FICO module .
I had started working on the same.
But my doubt is whether I can go ahead as SAP FICO(ABAP) consultant .
I have programming background ,PG in Computer Application.
What are recruiters criteria for the same .
Can I go ahead as SAP techno functional consultant (ABAP/FICO).
Need your guidance .
Regards,
Jeet

hi Jeetendra,
I definitely see no harm in trying to be a FICO Consultant who knows ABAP (or vice-versa). I've seen some really crazy requirements come from recruiters and this combination was one of them.
Just to give you an idea, I've recruiters asking for ABAP with BASIS, ABAP with SOA experience, ABAP with SCM, ABAP with PP-DS, ABAP with SLT etc apart from clubbing ABAP with any of the core Functional Modules.
So yeah, if FICO is your "thing" and you think it will be a cake-walk then go for it.

Hi Nishanth
You have already started your course and more than that, you have a good interest on the subject. Most probably in few months time, you will be in SCN to give advise to others.
Keep up the spirit and learn with more interest. It will be little hard to get a job as a fresher level since you already have many years of experience in other fields. But never give up. Keep trying and even if its small chance, grab it and shine.
All the best!!!
Hope you are doing your course in an SAP authorised training centre

Financial experience for SAP FICO module

is experience in core finance required for SAP FICO module or experience in financial domain good enough ?

All that you require for SAP FI is the ability to understand the business process in FI terms and implement the same in SAP.
Good domain knowledge is a must for SAP FI consultant - either it be in the form of education or thru' experience.
If you can understand the requirements in FI terminology, you can easily start your career in SAP FI and can value add your knowledge thru' experience.
All the best!
