## About

```text
At Paramount Skydance, I lead international budgeting, forecasting, and month-end cycles across EMEA, APAC, LatAm, and Canada. I automated month-end accrual preparation, system loading, and reconciliation with AI and Excel macros, reducing tasks that took a day to 20 minutes.

I also lead international P&L consolidation and executive reporting, maintain a five-year LRP, and manage and develop Senior Finance Analysts. At Babcock International, I developed Power BI dashboards and helped deliver cost-saving strategies that resulted in a £2m performance fee.
