Accountant | Commercial Analysis & Power BI
Brisbane | Financial Accounting + Data & Commercial Insights
Are you an Accountant who enjoys understanding the story behind the numbers?
We are working with an established and purpose-driven organisation seeking an Accountant who combines strong accounting fundamentals with a genuine interest in data, customer behaviour and commercial analysis.
This is an excellent opportunity for an Accountant who enjoys month-end and financial reporting but wants a role that offers something different - using data and Power BI to identify trends, understand customer segments and provide meaningful insights to the business.
The Role
Working as part of the finance team, you will have a broad remit covering both traditional accounting and data-driven analysis.
Your responsibilities will include:
Month-end accounting and reporting
Balance sheet reconciliations
Preparation and analysis of financial reports
Supporting budgeting and forecasting
Variance analysis and investigation
Assisting with year-end and audit requirements
Developing and maintaining Power BI dashboards and reporting
Analysing customer data to identify trends, behaviours and opportunities
Reviewing customer segmentation and loyalty
Providing analysis around customer activity, retention and engagement
Combining financial and operational data to provide meaningful commercial insights
Working with stakeholders across the organisation to improve the quality and use of management information




Identifying opportunities to improve and automate existing reporting
About You
We are particularly interested in speaking with Accountants who are naturally curious and enjoy working with data.
You will ideally have:
Previous experience in a Financial Accountant, Management Accountant or similar role
Strong month-end and financial reporting fundamentals
Advanced Excel skills
Experience with Power BI, or a strong desire to further develop your Power BI capability
An interest in data analytics, customer behaviour and commercial insights
Solid analytical and problem-solving skills
The ability to interpret large amounts of information and communicate the key message clearly
A proactive mindset and an interest in improving and automating reporting
CA/CPA qualification or studies would be highly regarded
Why Consider This Opportunity?
What makes this role different is the opportunity to combine accounting with data analytics.
Rather than spending all of your time producing traditional financial reports, you'll have the opportunity to explore customer data, understand what drives behaviour and loyalty, build meaningful Power BI reporting and help the business make better-informed decisions.
It's an excellent next step for an Accountant who enjoys the technical side of accounting but is increasingly interested in analytics, technology and commercial decision support.
If you're an Accountant who finds yourself asking "what is the data actually telling us?
", we'd be keen to hear from you.
