What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth, encourages innovative financial strategies, and values collaboration within a dynamic team.

I am a dedicated Senior Financial Analyst with a strong track record in financial management and analysis. Currently, I construct and manage annual financial budgets for Physicians Affiliate Group of New York, where I have successfully identified cost-saving opportunities that led to a 20% reduction in overhead expenses. My role involves reconciling accounts on the general ledger and preparing audit data, ensuring precise reporting for annual audits.

Previously, I served as a Corporate Financial Analyst at Northwell Health, where I presented statistical variances and risk analyses to senior management, contributing to informed decision-making for healthcare facilities with significant annual revenues. My experience also includes streamlining financial processes and enhancing operational efficiency in various accounting roles, demonstrating my ability to translate complex financial data into actionable insights.
