What I'm looking for

I’m looking for fully remote roles worldwide where I can lead budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and strategic financial modeling—partnering with business leaders to deliver executive-ready insights with modern FP&A tooling and AI-assisted workflows.

I’m a senior FP&A professional with 12+ years of experience partnering with business unit leaders to drive budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and strategic decision-making across SaaS, fintech, public sector, and high-growth environments.

My strength is turning complex financial and operational data into clear, actionable insights for senior leadership—including C-suite and board-level reporting. I’ve built financial models from the ground up, identified pricing and profitability opportunities, and improved reporting speed and accuracy through process enhancements.

I’m comfortable working in remote-first, international environments and with modern FP&A tooling, including Adaptive Insights (Workday Adaptive Planning) and NetSuite, as well as AI-assisted workflows (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot). From renewable energy and community banking to municipal budgeting and infrastructure finance, I deliver scenario planning, risk assessment, and decision support that helps teams move faster with confidence.
