Business & Data Analyst

Candidate Description

Marked by a rare blend of C-suite financial leadership and deep technical acumen, this professional excels at turning complex data into strategic business insight across sectors such as retail, construction, government and professional services. Adept at stakeholder engagement from board level to front-line teams, they couple commercial acumen with hands-on expertise in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Azure analytics services and the wider Microsoft BI stack to drive evidence-based decision-making.

Their technical proficiency spans advanced data modelling, ETL development, governance and visualisation using Power BI, SSAS, Azure Data Factory, Data Lake and Databricks. Operating within Agile and CI/CD environments, they have mapped end-to-end finance processes, orchestrated large-scale data migrations and optimised system configurations, delivering dashboards and reporting frameworks that win executive praise. Notable achievements include avoiding an AUD 350k custom-development cost at a Consulting Firm by exploiting native Dynamics functionality and producing Big-4-quality strategic papers adopted by the global leadership team.

Combining leadership experience as Interim CFO with hands-on data and business analysis credentials, they mentor cross-functional teams, foster collaborative cultures and consistently deliver projects on time and within budget. Their ability to bridge finance, technology and strategy positions them as a valuable asset for organisations seeking to harness data for transformative, measurable outcomes.
