Business Analyst using operational and financial analytics to drive cost-saving decisions.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Business Analyst who turns operational and financial data into clear insights—identifying trends, inefficiencies, and cost-saving opportunities. At Imperial Dade, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to document requirements, improve processes, and enhance workflows to increase accuracy and efficiency. I also build and maintain reporting dashboards, KPIs, and analytical models so leadership can act on performance and recommendations.
Before this role, I strengthened my accuracy and compliance mindset through audit work. As a Senior Accountant (Audit) at Baker Tilly, I led audit engagements by overseeing planning and fieldwork while coordinating with clients to meet PCAOB and AICPA standards, and I mentored junior staff through workload delegation, workpaper review, and technical guidance. Earlier, I completed audit work at Deloitte & Touche, performing analytical procedures, identifying control gaps, and supporting audit timelines.
