Job summary

Ploomo in Melbourne's Toorak is seeking a Financial Data Analyst to join our growing fintech team. This hands-on role blends finance operations with data engineering, using Python, SQL and Power BI to drive reconciliations and insightful reporting.

You'll own data pipelines, automate processes, and support month-end activities while maintaining strong controls and documentation. Office-based, full-time with Australian work rights; sponsorship is not available.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on Python and Pandas capability, including writing, debugging and maintaining scripts used for reconciliation and finance process improvement.
• Strong SQL skills for querying, joining, transforming and validating large datasets from multiple sources.
• Practical Power BI experience, including supporting reporting outputs with reconciled and reliable underlying data.
• Solid accounting and reconciliation experience, with the ability to investigate differences to root cause rather than just report variances.
• Mid-level experience in a hands-on individual contributor role where you've independently owned reconciliations, data investigations and script support, while staying willing to help with month-end and transactional accounting work.

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain and improve Python tools and scripts used for large finance datasets, reconciliations, validation and exception reporting.
• Use Python and SQL to extract, transform, join, validate and analyse financial and operational data from multiple sources.
• Automate finance and reconciliation processes while keeping strong controls, auditable and clear documentation in place.
• Investigate reconciliation breaks and data issues to find the root cause across accounting treatment, source data, systems and operations.
• Prepare and improve reconciliations across loan books, repayments, bank or payment data, and other balance-sheet or operational accounts.
• Support Power BI reporting, month-end work and transactional accounting when needed — this is a hands-on accounting and data role, not a pure FP&A seat.
