Senior FP&A and financial modeling analyst improving SaaS forecasting with Python, SQL, and AI automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an FP&A professional focused on budgeting, rolling forecasts, financial modeling, variance analysis, cash flow planning, and KPI management in SaaS and technology-driven organizations. I partner with Accounting and cross-functional leaders to strengthen reporting accuracy and support smarter, faster decisions.
I’ve built and refined financial models for revenue forecasting, ARR planning, scenario analysis, and strategic planning. In my recent EdTech SaaS role, I improved forecasting accuracy by 70–80% by developing predictive forecasting models using Python and statistical methods.
I also automate FP&A reporting to reduce manual effort and increase reliability. I’ve used SQL and data automation workflows to streamline reporting (reducing manual reporting effort by ~70%) and delivered 20+ financial dashboards and KPI reports to help leadership track revenue performance, SaaS metrics, operational drivers, and forecast trends.
From cash flow analysis and unit economics to month-end close support and reconciliations review, I focus on turning data into executive-ready insights. I bring hands-on experience with tools like Excel, Power BI, Python, SQL, NetSuite/Adaptive Insights, and AI-enabled workflows using Claude, n8n, and Zapier.
