Nkosinathi Ezra Mlandu

I am a detail-oriented financial analyst with international academic experience and a strong focus on financial markets and trading. I bring analytical rigor, adaptability, and a commitment to learning in fast-paced, remote environments.

During a recent financial analyst internship I compiled daily trade and position reports with 80% accuracy, monitored real-time market data, supported simulated trade execution that improved order fulfillment speed by 15%, and assisted with backtesting new trading strategies.

In my current analyst role I designed and implemented advanced financial models that increased forecasting accuracy by 75%, performed variance analysis that uncovered cost-saving initiatives reducing annual operating expenses by $20,000, and partnered on automating reporting workflows to shorten month-end close by 30%.

I am proactive, solution-oriented, and an effective communicator who thrives on contributing to high-performing trading teams. I seek opportunities to apply my modeling, backtesting, and market analysis skills while continuing to grow under experienced traders and cross-functional teams.
