Financial Controller at TNG Community Services forecasting an $80M budget and reporting on 70+ initiatives.

Message

At TNG Community Services, I forecast and report on an $80M budget and more than 70 capital and operational initiatives. I build financial models, reporting templates, and Power BI dashboards to help leaders track results and make decisions.

I lead the annual budget process and present financial analysis to senior management and the Board. By reworking the month-end close process and tightening internal controls, I cut the close from 25 days to 10.

At Skills for Change, Abiona Centre, and Strides Toronto, I provided financial analysis, reporting, and accounting for government-funded agencies. I led a Sage Intacct implementation that automated reporting, reducing month-end close time by 20% and reconciliation time by 25%.
