What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can turn data into clear variance insights, strengthen budgeting and forecasting, and support month-end close and audits using SAP/Excel—delivering accurate, reliable reporting with cross-functional teamwork.

I’m a Certified Public Accountant and Finance Analyst focused on turning financial data into clear, decision-ready reporting. I combine analytical thinking with strong attention to detail to support management with accurate, timely results.

In my current role, I analyze monthly financial results, including variance analysis versus budget and prior periods. I prepare financial reports, forecasts, and budgets using SAP, BPC, and Excel, while monitoring operating expenses and ensuring correct classification by cost center, functional area, and account.

I’m especially effective at investigating discrepancies involving GR/IR, accruals, and intercompany transactions. I also support month-end and year-end closing activities to ensure reliable reporting and partner closely with operations and accounting teams to clarify data and improve accuracy.

I value compliance and readiness for scrutiny, and I assist in audit requirements by providing schedules, reconciliations, and supporting documents. With a service-oriented mindset and a track record highlighted by Dean’s List recognition, I bring a disciplined approach to continuous improvement.
