William & Mary recently implemented Workday Financial Management and is building a modern, scalable reporting ecosystem for finance users across the university. The Workday Financial Reporting and Analytics Analyst serves as the finance organization’s primary “front door” for reporting requests and distribution. This role creates and supports Workday financial reports (the first and preferred solution whenever possible), and integrates with the FinOps Analytics team to deliver complex, multi-source analytics in tools such as Qlik and Power BI. The Analyst also helps standardize report definitions, improve data literacy, and enable self-service reporting while maintaining appropriate security and governance.
What Success Looks Like:
• Finance stakeholders have reliable, easy-to-find Workday reports for common needs (cash balances, reconciliations, income statements, budget to actual, etc.)
• Report distribution is consistent and controlled: the right people receive the right information on the right cadence with appropriate access and auditability.
• Complex reporting requests are triaged efficiently: delivered in Workday when feasible and escalated to enterprise BI when multi-source data or advanced modeling is required.
• Report definitions and calculations are documented, versioned, and aligned to finance and IT standards.
