I am a Financial Analyst with over 6 years of experience in banking, pensions, fraud, and accounts payable. My expertise lies in financial data analysis, reconciliations, and reporting, utilizing tools such as Oracle, Power BI, and Excel, including VBA. I am highly adaptable and results-driven, with a proven track record of enhancing financial processes and ensuring compliance.
