This role combines core reporting delivery with a strong focus on automation and improvement. You'll take an active role in supporting the production of quarterly and annual reporting while also helping to transform how that reporting is delivered-using tools like Power BI, Power Query, and Power Automate to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency.

This is because we want the best people for our roles, and we recognise that sometimes those people aren't available full-time. Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you may need. What will you be doing? * Support the delivery of quarterly and annual reporting, ensuring outputs are accurate and timely * Investigate, reconcile, and resolve differences in financial data * Design and build automated reporting solutions using Microsoft Power tools * Identify manual or inefficient processes and simplify or eliminate them * Support the development of more streamlined and scalable reporting frameworks * Contribute to shaping future ways of working across the reporting team * Investigate, reconcile, and resolve differences in financial data * Analyse outputs to identify inconsistencies, trends, and improvement opportunities * Work with large datasets to produce clear, accurate, and reliable reporting * Maintain and enhance existing reporting processes and documentation * Share knowledge and promote best practice across the team * Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and innovation ## Related Videos - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [Beyond Gut Feelings: The Rise of Data-Driven HR](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1326-beyond-gut-feelings-the-rise-of-data-driven-hr) - [Data Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: End-to-End Use Case with Data Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1547-data-analytics-with-microsoft-fabric-end-to-end-use-case-with-data-agents) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Replacing Excel with SAP APIs & Python validation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1944-replacing-excel-with-sap-apis-python-validation) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/276-data-analyst-salary-in-switzerland) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Software Developer Salary in Switzerland [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/215-software-developer-salary-in-switzerland-2023) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [Average Salary in Zürich](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/285-average-salary-in-zurich) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk)
