Power BI Developer with FP&A / Finance Background (Aimplan, Ongoing Work)

We are a boutique consulting firm specializing in financial planning and analysis (FP&A) built inside the Microsoft stack: Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and Aimplan. We are looking for a skilled Power BI developer who also understands finance and is ready to become an expert in Aimplan, a FP&A platform that runs inside Power BI (www.aimplan.com). This starts as project-based work, but we have a steady pipeline and are looking for someone who can become a reliable, recurring part of our delivery team over time. A core part of this role is Aimplan. Aimplan extends Power BI into a full planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting tool, and it is central to how we deliver for clients. You do not need prior Aimplan experience to start, but you do need to commit to learning it quickly and building production applications in it. We will provide training and support, and we expect you to ramp into being genuinely strong with the platform. If you are not excited to go deep on a specialized tool, this is not the right role. You will also work across multiple client accounts, not a single customer. Each engagement has its own data, its own model, and its own business questions, so you will need to learn new contexts quickly and produce clean, professional work. What you will do: - Build, develop, and maintain planning and forecasting applications in Aimplan across multiple client projects Design, build, and maintain Power BI dashboards and reports for FP&A use cases (budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, management reporting) - Build and maintain data models using DAX, Power Query, and Power Pivot, including row-level security, drill-through, and slicers - Drive adoption by building with user-centered design, so each app delivers a real improvement to the client's planning process - Translate finance and business requirements into working solutions and communicate results clearly Must-haves: + Strong, demonstrable Power BI development skills (please share a portfolio or sample work) + Solid command of DAX and Power Query + A genuine commitment to learning Aimplan and building production work in it. This is a requirement of the role + Real financial literacy. You should be comfortable working with income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow, and understand concepts like variance to budget and forecast. This is not optional. A lot of this work is financial reporting, so you need to understand what the numbers mean Clear written English and the ability to work independently against a brief Nice-to-have: + Prior experience with Aimplan or another planning / CPM tool (Anaplan, Vena, Planful, or similar) + Experience with Microsoft Fabric or Azure SQL + Prior FP&A, accounting, or finance work experience How we work: We are remote and run a tight, professional operation. We value initiative, accuracy, and people who flag problems early rather than hand over work that quietly does not tie out. Good work here leads to more work. To apply, please include: A short note on your Power BI experience and a link to sample dashboards or a portfolio One sentence explaining the difference between a forecast and a budget, so we know you read this post and understand finance A sentence on how you feel about learning a specialized new tool like Aimplan, since it is central to this role Your availability and typical weekly capacity
