What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and strategic impact in financial planning.

I am a dedicated Financial Analyst with a strong background in financial planning and analysis. Currently, I work at ManpowerGroup GBS, where I analyze financial data and prepare comprehensive reports that support strategic decision-making across multiple business units. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure data integrity and timely reporting, which has significantly contributed to cost savings and revenue growth.

Previously, I served as a Financial Analyst at CR7 Fitness, where I conducted in-depth financial analyses and developed dashboards to monitor key metrics. My efforts in streamlining administrative processes and enhancing reporting efficiency have been instrumental in driving business growth. I hold a Master’s in Economics of Business and Strategy from the University of Porto, where I focused on internationalization and corporate strategy.
