What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented data analyst with a strong foundation in finance and accounting, experienced in dashboard building, data cleaning, EDA, and presenting insights to stakeholders. I combine technical tools like Excel, Power BI, SQL, and Python with domain knowledge from accounting and auditing to drive actionable results.
As a project lead, I guided a global team to deliver an interactive Looker/Google Studio dashboard, used SQL to prepare analysis-ready datasets, and earned recognition as Star Performer with a 92% 360° evaluation. In prior roles I conducted audits, automated CMA preparation to improve loan approvals, and managed end-to-end bookkeeping and tax compliance for clients.
I deliver clear visual storytelling and optimized dataset structures to improve reporting efficiency and decision-making. I thrive in remote environments, prioritize accuracy and communication, and seek opportunities to apply analytics to finance-driven business problems.
