Rahel Kirinde
@rahelkirinde1
Financial analyst at UpResponse.io who built a driver-based SaaS model for revenue, runway, and funding plans.
What I'm looking for
At ICMP, I managed accounts receivable and reconciliation for around 1,600 students per term, matching payments across multiple platforms and the ERP ledger. I also prepared cash-flow forecasts and management reporting, and reduced bad debt by approximately 20% year on year.
I automated invoice and payment-reminder workflows with Python and Power Automate, and supported month-end close and the Sage 200 to Sage Intacct migration. At UpResponse.io, I built a financial model covering revenue projections, costs, cash runway, and funding requirements.
I also built a driver-based Excel FP&A model for a hypothetical SaaS company and an automated billing capture and reconciliation pipeline. I’m currently working remotely with Time to GTM and am available across UK and US time zones.
