Senior FP&A analyst building driver-based forecasts and BI reporting to unlock cash flow and cost savings.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior FP&A Analyst with hands-on experience in financial modeling, driver-based forecasting, cash flow management, and BI-driven reporting. I built the FP&A function from scratch at a US Tech/Logistics company, including budget vs. actual reporting, bear/base/bull scenarios, and DCF/valuation models that supported a USD 50M+ capital raise.
I focus on data-driven decision-making and automation—integrating accounting closures with live dashboards to reduce manual work and improve executive accuracy. I’ve delivered $3M+ in annual cost savings by building a fuel cost optimization tool that reduced fuel costs by 10% and by reducing international payment spreads by 5%; earlier, I owned full P&L as a former founder with 8 years of full P&L responsibility.
