Ivan Rodriguez

I’m a Financial Analyst and Economist with a background in economics and over 2 years of experience in financial management within international organizations, supported by 5 additional years in banking operations. I’m committed to development, sustainability, and international cooperation, and I bring a careful, compliance-focused approach to every step of donor-funded work.

In my current role, I provide day-to-day financial and administrative support for research projects under the PLANS Alliance Bioversity & CIAT (CGIAR). I help with budget monitoring and expenditure tracking, and I support financial reporting to international donors by reviewing, validating, and classifying project expenditures to ensure compliance with donor regulations and internal financial policies.

I also support the full financial lifecycle of donor-funded projects—contributing to financial formulation of project proposals, participating in budget development and setup, monitoring budget execution against approved work plans, and supporting project closure processes. I use ERP systems (Unit4, Oracle) and internal platforms to retrieve financial information, generate customized reports, and keep budgets and expenditures aligned with approved plans and timelines.

Across both project finance and banking operations, I’ve built strength in data management and audit readiness. I leverage advanced Excel to clean and analyze large datasets, use SAP for accounting and operational controls, and support internal and external audits by compiling and organizing audit evidence so submissions fully comply with institutional policies, donor requirements, and project contractual agreements.
