FP&A finance partner who supported SPS Commerce’s $230M revenue organization and reduced forecast error by 80%.

United States

Message

At SPS Commerce, I was the primary finance partner to the Chief Revenue Officer for a $230M budget and 1,200+ headcount. I advised the CRO and sales and customer success leaders, and managed and mentored an analyst.

I built and implemented the commission process and streamlined forecasting, budgeting, month-end close, and variance analysis. By reorganizing the open headcount process and refining forecast methods, I reduced forecast errors by 80%.

At ECMC, I supported projections and recommendations for a $390M revenue budget and led implementation of the Workday Financial Planning module. Across my finance work, I’ve contributed to $10M in data center lease savings, $4M in annual IT operating cost reductions, and $5M in vendor cost avoidance.
