What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level finance role where I can apply financial modelling, Excel expertise, and analytical rigor in a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a chemistry graduate and CFA Level I candidate transitioning into finance with hands-on experience in financial modelling, regulatory simulations, and data-driven analysis.

I have rebuilt financial statements from raw data ensuring IFRS compliance and calculated profitability and liquidity ratios while benchmarking against industry peers.

My background includes processing and reconciling transactions, auditing user records for data integrity, and analysing regulatory risk scenarios aligned with FCA guidelines.

I bring strong Excel skills (VLOOKUP, PivotTables), experience with Screener and MATLAB, and a science-trained analytical mindset that drives accurate, metrics-driven decision making.
