Finance professional skilled in financial modelling, reporting, and donor-funded project cost control.
What I'm looking for
I am a finance professional with experience in financial modelling, compliance, and cross-functional collaboration, currently pursuing an MSc in Finance and Investment Management and preparing for CFA Level I. I specialize in Excel-based financial modelling (DCF, budgeting), reporting, and donor grant forecasting.
At Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit I prepared quarterly donor reports, co-led rolling forecasts, and built interactive cashflow models and pivot-dashboard tools to visualise project expenditures. In a cost-control role at Coral FLNG I produced monthly cost reports, liaised across departments, and supported budget monitoring and purchase approvals.
I bring strong analytical skills with Stata and basic Python, advanced Excel, and a track record of designing forecasting tools and improving operational plans to enable data-driven decision-making for program managers.
