I've recently hired a PowerBI analyst to join my team in my full-time industry job. In 3 short months, he's built 3 amazing PowerBI dashboards that have given us tremendous insight in to our accounting data such as the composition of our Journal Entries, our fluctuation (flux) explanations, and our Month End Close Status. It's been a tremendous win.
He started his career as a data engineer, and then taught himself PowerBI from materials like this available online. He's already been awarded our company's high honor quarterly CFO award: the first time someone on my team has won in the last three years. I've been trying to teach accountants how to use these Power tools, but hiring someone who has already made the effort, has been a huge win. I can't wait until the market starts to have more people like him available as they are a key part of my accounting strategy for winning.
So my key takeaway, hire a PowerBI guru if you can. Make the case; they will quickly pay for themselves with their insights (and make you look like a rockstar)!
And if you are the guru already, send me a message, and let's talk. Maybe I have a project or work that you can help me with.
