@ericserafin
I build FP&A models and reporting frameworks that improve profitability decisions and accelerate financial close.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently driving full P&L visibility for CADU Inmobiliaria's $3,000M MXN residential portfolio, building channel-level budget tracking in Enkontrol ERP and updating forecasts across 10+ active projects.
My analysis uncovered material cost overconsumption, and I partnered with Operations to implement controls that generated approximately $3M MXN in savings.
Previously at Nissan Renault Finance Mexico, I owned Actuals, Budget, and Forecast reporting for U.S.-produced vehicle programs representing roughly 500,000 units annually. I prepared ROP and PFR variance analysis, supported profitability decisions with plant controllers and regional finance teams, and transformed reporting datasets into Tableau dashboards that reduced analysis time by 30–50%.
Across more than 10 years in automotive manufacturing and real estate development, I've led budgeting, forecasting, monthly close, variance analysis, fixed-asset approvals, and financial modeling. I've also automated reporting through Excel VBA, reduced close time from five to three days, saved 500+ hours annually, and trained 12+ analysts on new tools and processes.
