Contract: 6 months, with possibility of extension
Employment Type: Full-time contract
Work Arrangement: Client-site / hybrid, minimum 4 days per week on-site
Hiring Timeline: Urgent / Immediate
Vision Sprint Consulting Group is looking for a Consultant – Finance Data & Reporting to join our team on a six-month consulting engagement supporting one of our leading enterprise clients.
This is a hands-on role embedded within the client's business and Finance environment. The successful candidate will work closely with Finance, Operations, and business teams to support reporting, investigate data issues, reconcile financial information, and improve the quality and reliability of management reporting.
We are looking for someone who is strong technically in Power BI and Excel, but who can also think beyond the report itself. You should be comfortable investigating why numbers do not match, tracing issues across different systems and datasets, understanding the underlying business logic, and taking ownership of problems through to resolution.
What You Will Do:
- Build, maintain, enhance, and troubleshoot Power BI reports, dashboards, data models, and supporting datasets
- Perform significant hands-on analysis using Excel, including reconciliation, validation, investigation, and ad hoc financial analysis
- Investigate reporting and data discrepancies across Finance, operational, and source systems
- Reconcile numbers between different datasets, reports, and systems and identify the root cause of differences
- Support Finance reporting including P&L, revenue, actual vs. budget/forecast, GL account analysis, and month-end reporting
- Work with Finance and business stakeholders to understand reporting requirements and translate them into practical analytical solutions
- Validate data quality, business rules, mappings, calculations, and reporting logic
- Work with large and sometimes imperfect datasets and determine how to move analysis forward when the data is not immediately clean or complete
- Identify opportunities to simplify, automate, or improve existing reporting and analytical processes
- Document findings, assumptions, business logic, and issue resolution where appropriate
- Work directly with Finance, Operations, and US business teams to resolve reporting and data-related issues
- Take ownership of assigned workstreams and drive them forward with limited day-to-day supervision
What We Are Looking For:
- Strong hands-on Power BI experience, including report development, data modelling, DAX, troubleshooting, and ongoing report maintenance
- Advanced Excel skills and experience using Excel for financial analysis, reconciliation, data validation, and reporting
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capability - you naturally investigate why something is wrong rather than simply reporting that it is wrong
- Good understanding of finance and accounting fundamentals, including:
- P&L / income statement
- Revenue
- Actual vs. budget and forecast
- General Ledger / GL accounts
- Month-end reporting and reconciliation
- Experience working with large datasets and performing detailed data validation and quality checks
- Strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to checking the accuracy of your work
- Ability to work independently in an ambiguous environment and take ownership of problems without requiring detailed step-by-step instructions
- Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with Finance and business stakeholders
- Ability to explain data issues and analytical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Nice To Have:
Experience in any of the following would be considered an asset:
- ServiceTitan
- ERP or financial systems
- Operational or field-service data platforms
- SQL
- Power Query
- Python
- Data automation or process automation
- Finance transformation or management reporting projects
The Type of Person Who Will Succeed in This Role
This role is well suited for someone who enjoys getting into the details.
You may receive a report where the numbers do not reconcile, data coming from several systems, or a business question without a perfectly defined analytical path. We are looking for someone who can independently work through the issue, ask the right questions, validate the data, identify the underlying cause, and recommend a practical solution.
Being able to build a Power BI dashboard is important. Being able to determine whether the numbers behind that dashboard are actually correct is even more important.
Engagement Details
This is a full-time six-month consulting contract, with the possibility of extension based on project requirements and performance.
The consultant will work closely with the client team and is expected to be on-site at least four days per week. Candidates should therefore be comfortable working in a highly collaborative, client-facing environment.
This is an urgent hiring requirement, and we are looking to speak with qualified candidates as soon as possible.
