Rahel Kirinde
@rahelkirinde
I build financial models and reporting that turn commercial data into clear decisions.
What I'm looking for
I've owned the financial model, monthly reporting cycle, and commercial analysis for UpResponse.io, an enterprise SaaS business, as its sole finance resource. I built an integrated driver-based model linking revenue, cost, and cash to assess unit economics, margins, working capital, and cash runway.
At ICMP in London, I delivered variance analysis, cash-flow forecasting, month-end reporting, and executive and Audit & Risk Committee packs. I also reduced bad debt by approximately 20% year on year through data-driven receivables monitoring and targeted intervention.
I've automated recurring reporting and reconciliation workflows with Power Automate and Python, and supported the Sage 200 to Sage Intacct migration while maintaining reporting continuity. My work combines advanced Excel modelling, scenario analysis, and clear communication for non-finance stakeholders.
With a Distinction-level MSc in Financial Technology, I bring experience in DCF valuation, three-statement modelling, investment appraisal, economic research, and commercial analysis. I'm focused on helping leadership teams make defensible, evidence-based decisions.
