Finance professional transitioning into FP&A with a passion for automation.
What I'm looking for
As a finance professional with over two years of experience in controlling and auditing, I am currently transitioning into Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A). My journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in financial management, particularly within the renewable energy sector, where I have honed my skills in cost control, forecasting, and financial reporting.
During my tenure as a Financial Controller at Elecnor S.A., I successfully managed cost control and forecasting processes across various industrial and renewable energy projects. My role involved leading monthly and quarterly financial reporting for senior leadership, designing budgeting tools in Excel, and conducting variance analysis to ensure budget alignment. A highlight of my career was my expatriation to Australia to audit a wind farm project, which significantly enhanced my cross-border coordination and financial oversight skills.
In addition to my professional experience, I am pursuing a Master’s in Financial Management & Control, which I believe will further enhance my capabilities in strategic finance and product thinking. I am passionate about building tools that improve decision-making and operational clarity, and I am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic team focused on financial transformation initiatives.
