Tools, Data & Advanced Excel

  • Use advanced Excel (Power Query, Power Pivot, complex formulas, structured models) for analysis, reconciliation, and ad-hoc reporting.
  • Support automation and data transformation using tools such as SQL, Python, Power BI, or similar technologies (as applicable).
  • Maintain clear documentation for models, reports, dashboards, and AI-enabled processes.

Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with FP&A, Accounting, Operations, IT, and Data teams to align reporting outputs with business needs.
  • Support end users with training, documentation, and guidance on financial reports, dashboards, and analytics tools.
  • Proactively recommend process improvements that enhance data quality, reduce cycle time, and improve decision support.
  • Able to communicate complex financial and technical concepts clearly to non technical stakeholders.
