I turn raw financials into decisions worth acting on.

Most entry-level Financial Analyst postings ask for two to five years of experience. I don't have that yet. This site is how I'm closing the gap, by building the kind of work an FP&A analyst actually does and putting it where you can check it, instead of just listing it on a resume and hoping someone takes my word for it.

I studied a Master of Science in Finance (MSF) at the University of Arizona, where I built three-statement models, ran DCF and CAPM valuations, worked through venture-capital valuation methods, and wrote my own VBA functions to handle modeling work Excel's built-ins couldn't clean up on their own. That gave me the mechanics. What it didn't give me was real company data, budget-vs-actual variance work, or any exposure to the BI and ERP tools that show up in almost every FP&A job posting.

So I went through a stack of real Financial Analyst and FP&A postings, pulled out what kept repeating, and built projects to close each gap directly. The first is a full Budget vs. Actual workbook for a fictional $50M-ARR B2B SaaS company, NorthBeam Analytics: four variance scenarios, conditional formatting, and commentary written the way a finance team would actually flag it for leadership, not the way a textbook would. Power BI dashboards and a real-company model rebuild are next.

This site isn't meant to look finished. It's meant to show how I work: find the gap between what I know and what the job needs, then go build the thing that closes it. Every project here started as something I genuinely couldn't do yet.

If you're hiring for Financial Analyst, FP&A, or budgeting analyst roles, my resume has the specifics, and the projects page has the work itself. Happy to walk through any of it in more detail.
