What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead FP&A and operational finance—partnering with executives to improve forecasting, dashboards, and internal controls. I want a role where process transformation and scalable reporting drive measurable performance improvements.

I’m a strategic finance leader with 15+ years of experience driving financial planning, operational analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and business performance improvement across multi-site organizations. I support executive leadership with financial modeling, variance analysis, and data-driven decision-making.

In my current role as Senior Financial Manager – FP&A & Operations, I lead budgeting, forecasting, and expenditure management across multiple city departments, delivering executive-level reporting and strategic recommendations. I coordinate month-end and year-end close activities, strengthen internal controls and GAAP compliance, and develop financial dashboards and Power BI visualizations that improve transparency and insight.

Previously, as a Senior Financial Analyst – Global Operations, I supported global FP&A with revenue tracking, cash flow analysis, and operational reporting. I automated reporting processes to improve visibility and analytical accuracy, partnering with IT and business teams to optimize financial systems and strengthen performance reporting.

Earlier in my career, I focused on M&A execution and audit work, supporting due diligence, integration planning, and SOX/internal audits. Across roles, my approach is consistent: lead cross-functional initiatives, improve financial processes, and build reporting frameworks that enable scalable growth and operational excellence.
