What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level Financial Analyst/MIS/Business Analyst role where I can build models and MIS dashboards, analyze datasets with Excel/SQL, and support data-driven financial decision making through forecasting, valuation, and performance analysis.

I’m a Finance & Business Analytics graduate with hands-on experience turning financial data into clear, decision-ready insights. I’ve strengthened my background through financial analysis, financial modeling, and business data interpretation projects that emphasize accuracy and actionable reporting.

As a Finance Intern, I conducted comparative financial analysis of 10+ digital payment gateways, structuring datasets in Advanced Excel and evaluating transaction costs, operational efficiency, and revenue impact. I also supported financial reporting and forecasting insights to help with planning, while collaborating cross-functionally to present recommendations for cost-efficient payment processing.

I bring practical modeling skills through DCF valuation, DuPont analysis, and financial statement performance reviews using ratio and trend analysis. I’m now seeking an entry-level Financial Analyst/MIS/Business Analyst role where I can build analytical reports, MIS dashboards, and forecasts that support data-driven financial and business performance decisions.
