What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and innovation in financial analysis.

I am a skilled FP&A Analyst with a strong background in financial planning, budgeting, and managing globally funded projects. My experience includes collaborating with senior leadership to develop financial strategies that align with organizational goals, conducting variance analyses, and generating actionable insights that enhance decision-making. I have a proven track record of driving success in multi-million-dollar projects while ensuring compliance with financial regulations.

Throughout my career, I have overseen complex multi-stakeholder projects financed by international institutions such as The World Bank and UNDP. My role involved comprehensive financial reporting, adhering to donor guidelines, and cultivating long-term donor relationships. I led the implementation of SAP S/4HANA Finance, identifying process gaps and enhancing operational efficiency, which significantly improved our financial forecasting accuracy.

In addition to my analytical skills, I possess strong communication and collaboration abilities, allowing me to effectively engage with stakeholders across various functions. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive process improvements and am continuously seeking opportunities to enhance financial transparency and operational efficiency.
