Chartered Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) analyst improving forecasts and revenue/SG&A insights for leadership decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Chartered Accountant with 6+ years of Financial Planning & Analysis experience across global environments, focused on revenue analytics, SG&A performance, and driver-based forecasting. I build financial models that translate operational drivers like headcount, utilization, and cost trends into actionable insights—and I’ve improved forecasting accuracy by 15% and reduced reporting cycle time by 20% through automation and standardized planning frameworks.
In my recent roles, I’ve delivered automated Excel models and advanced variance analysis that link operational metrics to financial performance for faster scenario planning. I also develop leadership-ready reporting and dashboards (including Power BI), and I’ve supported DCF and sensitivity analysis for long-term ROI decisions, plus finance process improvements that reduced manual effort by 30% and uncovered 10–12% efficiency opportunities in resource allocation.
