In my previous role, I developed and maintained financial models to forecast revenue and analyze trends. I utilized tools like Excel and SQL to create dynamic models that incorporated historical data, market trends, and business assumptions. These models helped the company make informed decisions, optimize pricing strategies, and identify growth opportunities. My ability to translate complex data into actionable insights has consistently supported strategic planning and improved financial performance.

I ensure accuracy by implementing rigorous data validation processes, such as cross-referencing multiple sources and using automated tools to flag inconsistencies. I also break down large datasets into manageable segments, allowing for thorough analysis and error detection. Additionally, I maintain clear documentation of my methods and assumptions, enabling others to review and verify my work. This systematic approach minimizes errors and ensures reliable, actionable insights for decision-making.

I start by analyzing historical revenue data, market trends, and customer behavior to identify patterns and gaps. I then collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand operational constraints and market dynamics. By combining quantitative analysis with qualitative insights, I pinpoint areas for growth, such as untapped markets or underperforming products. My recommendations are data-driven and aligned with the company’s strategic goals, ensuring actionable and impactful outcomes.

I am proficient in Excel for creating complex financial models and performing data analysis. I also use SQL for querying and manipulating large datasets, and Power BI or Tableau for visualizing data and creating dashboards. Additionally, I have experience with ERP systems like SAP and Oracle for financial reporting. These tools enable me to efficiently analyze data, generate insights, and present findings to stakeholders in a clear and actionable manner.

When I encounter discrepancies, I first investigate the root cause by reviewing data sources, formulas, and assumptions. I collaborate with relevant teams to gather additional context and ensure alignment. Once the issue is identified, I correct the error and implement preventive measures, such as improving data validation processes or enhancing documentation. My goal is to resolve discrepancies promptly while maintaining transparency and accuracy in financial reporting.
