Diego Sanchez
@diegosanchez
Entry-level finance professional focused on accurate record-to-report close and data-driven variance analysis.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Mexico City-based finance professional specializing in Record to Report processes, with hands-on experience driving month-end closing accuracy and intercompany reconciliation across LatAm entities. In my current role at IFF, I execute close activities for North LATAM and ensure 100% accuracy in journal entries through disciplined reconciliation and validation.
As a Finance Intern for Kerry Ingredients, I managed monthly close for the South LATAM region (Argentina, Chile, and Brazil). I analyze currency exposure via foreign exchange revaluations and calculate provisions, while using SAP and advanced Excel to validate data integrity and support accurate financial reporting.
Earlier, as a FORVIA Trainee in Finance, I supported Program Controller decision-making by analyzing P&L reports and contributing to budgeting and forecasting cycles through variance analysis and financial report preparation. I bring a strong focus on finance planning fundamentals, clear reporting, and building dashboards in Power BI (including headcount reporting) to strengthen workforce planning and cost control.
