Business Systems Analyst with 8+ years translating needs into scalable ERP & SaaS solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Systems Analyst with 8+ years of experience supporting and implementing enterprise business systems across finance, supply chain, and insurance. I focus on requirements gathering, functional documentation, system configuration, and testing (UAT/functional/regression) to ensure solutions meet business and compliance needs. I partner across teams to translate business needs into workflows and scalable system enhancements.
I’m especially strong in ERP and SaaS environments, with a track record of improving documentation standards, data mappings, and integration readiness. In recent roles, I improved implementation accuracy by leveraging AI tools to validate system logic, delivered multiple insurance implementations, and reduced reconciliation effort and improved financial accuracy (including a 90% improvement in reconciliation efficiency). Earlier, I supported full-cycle AP/AR, strengthened audit readiness aligned to IFRS, and reduced audit queries by 35% through better reconciliation processes and internal controls.
