What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior FP&A role where I can own driver-based planning, deliver KPI dashboards and management reporting, and partner with leadership to improve forecast accuracy, optimize OpEx, and guide strategic resource allocation.

I’m a Senior Financial Analyst in FP&A with 7 years at American Express, managing a $200M+ OpEx portfolio across USA, UK, India, Singapore, and Australia. I bring 21 years of total professional experience in financial and operational analytics.

My strength is driver-based budgeting and forecasting—building models that integrate headcount, technology, and discretionary spend to improve budget accuracy and reduce forecast-to-actual variance. I lead AOP and rolling 12-month forecast cycles, pairing financial rigor with scenario and sensitivity analysis to surface risk and cost optimization early.

I deliver P&L reporting and variance analysis with clear, actionable management narratives for global leadership. I’ve streamlined month-end close and reporting cycles by 30% using SAP, Advanced Excel automation, and Power BI, and I built executive KPI dashboards in Power BI and Tableau as a single source of truth for decision-making.

As a primary finance business partner, I translate insights into strategic recommendations that influence resource allocation and investment decisions. I support headcount planning and technology spend governance using ROI analysis, scenario analysis, and business case preparation, and I’m actively progressing FMVA (CFI) and US CMA (IMA) certifications.
