Melbourne, Australia — remote-friendly

Power BI dashboards people actually open.

I'm Monica, an independent BI consultant. I build Power BI dashboards and the data models behind them — and when the underlying data is messy, I clean up the Azure, Fabric, or SQL pipeline that feeds it too.

I've spent the last 7+ years building Power BI dashboards and data platforms for teams who needed their numbers to be trustworthy, not just technically correct. I hold Microsoft and AWS certifications and studied Management Information Systems at the University of Melbourne.

FIRNCE is the practice I built around doing this work directly — no account manager, no junior hand-off, just the person building your dashboard.

Data Modelling

The layer underneath the dashboard — relationships, measures, and a model that stays fast as your data grows.

How I work

Flexible enough to fit around the team you already have.

I work remotely with teams across Australia, and I keep engagements direct: you talk to the person doing the work, not a project coordinator relaying updates.

Most projects start with a short scoping conversation — what's broken, what "done" looks like, and which of your existing systems I need to work around. From there I scope a fixed project, a set number of hours, or an ongoing casual arrangement, whichever fits how your team already operates.

Let's talk about your data.

Tell me what's not working — a report nobody trusts, a pipeline that breaks every month-end, a migration you've been putting off. I'll reply within a couple of business days.
