Founder of Arkfield Analytics. I deliver financial modelling, data analytics, and risk consulting to businesses that need serious quantitative work without the cost of a large firm. My background is in actuarial analysis which means I approach every engagement with rigour around probability, uncertainty, and data integrity that goes beyond what a typical analyst or accountant provides. What I work on: - Financial models, cash flow forecasts, scenario and sensitivity analysis - Data analytics, KPI dashboards, and automated monthly reporting - Insurance pricing, risk modelling, and actuarial support - Statistical analysis and business intelligence I work across Excel, Python, and R and deliver clean, well-documented outputs you can actually use and maintain after handover. I take on both fixed-price projects and ongoing retainer engagements.
