What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can own FP&A and RTR deliverables, partner with stakeholders, and continuously improve close accuracy, forecasting, and process efficiency—using tools like SAP and analytics to drive better decisions.

I’m a CMA-qualified finance professional with 4.7+ years of experience across RTR, FP&A, and finance operations in global business environments. I focus on accuracy and efficiency, supporting budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and month-end close with strong ownership of journal entries and financial reporting.

In my roles, I’ve partnered with cross-functional teams to manage stakeholder expectations, prepare accruals/prepayments, and support audits with clear documentation and timely data responses. I’ve also improved processes—leading intercompany reconciliation work that resulted in automation—and I bring hands-on tools expertise in SAP, Maconomy, Advanced Excel, and Power BI.
