## About

```text
At British Telecommunications plc, I partner with leadership teams on financial performance, forecast visibility and business insights. I lead budgeting, forecasting and monthly performance reviews, and prepare consolidated management reports and executive dashboards.

I supported reporting automation and data transformation using Qlik, Power BI and analytics tools. Across my work, automation with Power BI, Qlik and SQL reduced manual reporting effort by 40% and released approximately 400 hours per month for value-added analysis.

At Danaher Corporation, I led financial planning, management reporting and analysis to support business strategy, resource allocation and commercial decisions. I prepared budgets and forecasts, analyzed P&L, margins and variances, and supported credit control and working-capital performance.

Earlier, as Financial Reporting Manager at Caparo Group, I led financial close activities and owned the record-to-report process. I also implemented activity-based costing and financial-analysis models to strengthen cost visibility and decision support.
