Praise Ugadu

I’m a detail-oriented Data Analyst with a strong foundation in financial analysis, reporting, and process optimization. With an accounting background, I focus on numerical accuracy, audit-grade data integrity, and clear storytelling through data visualisation and dashboard design.

In my recent role, I collected and maintained structured datasets in Google Sheets and Docs for a 10+ member team, improving data accessibility and reducing reporting turnaround time. I also used AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copy.ai) to automate data summarisation, generate SOPs, and produce analytical reports, while building dashboards to support better team decisions.

Previously, as an Accountant / Financial Data Analyst, I prepared monthly, quarterly, and annual reports, reconciled payables/receivables with 100% accuracy, and conducted internal audits and data quality reviews—reducing reporting errors by 15%. I built budget models and forecasts, improved invoicing and collections tracking to cut outstanding receivables by 25%, processed payroll for 120+ staff, and maintained accurate general ledger entries through monthly bank reconciliations.
