Dimitri Galdava
@dimitrigaldava
I’m a senior financial reporting and FP&A professional who builds models and dashboards to improve forecasting accuracy and decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior financial reporting and FP&A professional focused on turning complex financial data into clear, decision-ready insight. Across Accenture, LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), and other fast-moving environments, I analyze KPIs, reconcile financials, and improve visibility so leadership can act early—not after the month is done.
In my most recent role, I analyze KPIs across sales, expenses, and margins using driver-based variance models to identify performance gaps and prevent unexpected monthly swings. I also improve budgeting and forecasting accuracy by redesigning and maintaining dynamic financial models in Excel, Oracle, and Google Sheets to reduce manual errors and shorten planning cycles.
I build automated dashboards and reporting packs in Tableau, Power BI, and Hyperion to fix reporting inconsistencies and deliver real-time financial visibility. I partner with cross-functional teams to consolidate data, validate assumptions, and resolve conflicting numbers, strengthening executive decision alignment.
Throughout my career, I’ve led budgeting, audit readiness, tax schedules, and month-end close activities, while also modernizing planning workflows through Anaplan and ERP integrations. I’m especially proud of replacing fragmented Excel processes with enterprise modeling and scenario planning, improving accuracy and accelerating how finance teams budget and forecast.
