What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote U.S. contract or full-time finance roles that align with U.S. Eastern business hours, where I can support FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and operational decision-making.

At GFL Environmental, I supported budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis across two operating regions, translating labor, fuel, maintenance, disposal, and hauling costs into clear monthly variance insights for regional leadership.

I've built and maintained Excel models for annual budgets, long-range planning, cost drivers, inventory, revenue trends, and business performance. I also partnered with accounting to reconcile multi-period activity, improve data accuracy, and prepare reliable month-end reporting.

As founder of Faith Journey Italy, I own pricing, per-departure P&Ls, vendor budgets, gross-margin analysis, cash-flow timing, FX exposure, capacity, and break-even modeling for group pilgrimage travel. My background also includes FP&A at Mediant Communications and public-sector budgeting with Ghana's Local Government Ministry.
