I build forecasts, reporting, and Power BI insights for complex finance teams.
What I'm looking for
At Network Rail, I oversee FP&A process improvements from DU level through Group submission, create and maintain nine Power BI reports, and produce FD and QBR packs for stakeholders.
I stepped in to cover Senior FP&A responsibilities for six months in the Northwest, supporting RF submissions, financial and business-plan analysis, and managing both a graduate and placement student.
Previously at Nomad Foods, I led budgeting, forecasting, and cost analysis for Nordic distribution and warehousing across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. I prepared leadership variance reporting, transfer-price analysis, SOX-compliant reconciliations, and factory cost analysis while maintaining delivery through significant management turnover.
My earlier finance roles at ICF and Sainsbury's involved forecasting, budgeting, financial modelling, Power BI dashboards, workforce and expense analytics, and finance updates for large audiences. I enjoy turning financial data into clear reporting that supports business decisions.
