Kristina Kovaleva
@kristinakovaleva
Commercial and Business Analyst specialising in financial modelling, data analysis and reporting that turns complex data into practical decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Commercial and Business Analyst with experience across financial analysis, commercial modelling, management reporting and process improvement.
Most recently, I built the commercial and financial model for a hospitality and retail project, modelling revenue potential, pricing, volumes, COGS, staffing and operating costs across multiple scenarios to support investment and operational decisions.
Previously at Uniting, I analysed financial and operational data, prepared P&L, KPI and contribution-margin reporting, improved GL mapping, and automated an agency-rate calculation process using Power Query and Power Automate, reducing a recurring three-day process to around 30 minutes.
My broader experience includes SaaS, financial services and transport, with exposure to forecasting, revenue analysis, regression analysis and stakeholder reporting. I enjoy turning complex or fragmented data into clear insights that help businesses understand performance and make better decisions.
I’m currently open to remote Commercial Analyst, Business Analyst, FP&A, Financial Analyst and Business Operations opportunities.
