Finance analyst transitioning into investment analysis, building Excel tools for small-business financial tracking.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
As an independent finance support freelancer, I develop user-friendly Excel tools for financial tracking and help small businesses with budgeting and reporting. I also analyze and organize financial data using Excel and Python to support clearer decision-making.
At Zimbabwe Public Workers Services, I maintained financial records for over 200 members and prepared monthly portfolio summaries. I developed an Excel-based client-query tracking model that reduced average issue-resolution time by 15%.
My experience also includes preparing cash-flow reports and reconciling sales at Mavambo Contracting, and supporting short-term insurance underwriting at NICOZ Diamond Insurance. I’m transitioning into investment analysis, with CFA Level II completed and CFA Level III candidacy in progress.
