What I'm looking for

I am looking for an FP&A or finance role where I can use BI, automation and reporting to improve decision-making, streamline controls, and collaborate cross-functionally in a growth-oriented finance team.

I am an FP&A and business intelligence professional with 7+ years of experience in accounting, financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and stakeholder engagement. I build interactive Power BI dashboards, automate reporting workflows, and deliver variance analysis across multiple ERPs to support strategic decision-making.

I have driven scalable financial controls, introduced transaction-level reconciliations to reduce suspense items, and supported P&L, balance sheet and cash flow preparation while liaising with cross-functional teams and senior finance leadership. I communicate finance concepts to non-finance managers and have a track record of improving reporting accuracy and operational profitability.
