What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance/FP&A role where I can own forecasting, budgeting, and KPI-driven reporting, translate drivers into clear insights for leadership, and partner cross-functionally to improve cost efficiency and revenue performance.

I’m a Senior Financial Analyst focused on Revenue, Forecasting, and performance management across Sales & Operations. In my current role, I manage the forecast & budget process for $1.2B+ annual revenue, driving 99% forecasting accuracy and aligning revenue targets to broader business goals.

I strengthen decision-making through variance analysis and clear, leadership-ready reporting. I provide insights into revenue performance and periodical variances vs. Budget & Forecast by identifying key drivers and trends, and I present monthly financial reviews, financial KPIs, and board-level presentations.

Previously, I supported large, operational organizations by owning month-end close, forecasting, and budgeting for IT at Exelon. I managed an annual budget of $100M+ CapEx and $50M+ OpEx, built financial models and business cases using ROI, NPV, and IRR, and partnered with IT and Procurement to ensure correct O&M vs. capital expense treatment.

I also bring a strong accounting and tax foundation from roles including Staff Accountant and Tax Accountant. I’ve performed general ledger reconciliations, US GAAP-focused contract reviews, and SOX/SEC control testing, and I prepared federal and state/local tax filings—strengthening my ability to connect financial execution to strategic outcomes.
