📊 Turning raw financial data into decision-ready reporting
I'm a finance professional with 3+ years of hands-on accounting and financial analysis experience, backed by a degree in Finance/Accounting. I help businesses turn messy spreadsheets and exports into clear, automated reporting — combining core finance skills with SQL and Power BI to get there faster.
What I bring:
▸ Strong accounting foundation — journal entries, reconciliations, AR/AP, month-end close, financial statements
▸ SQL for extracting & querying financial data — trial balances, aging reports, vendor spend analysis, cash flow tracking
▸ Power BI dashboards — KPI tracking, variance reporting, executive-ready visuals
▸ Financial modeling — forecasting, budget-vs-actual, scenario planning
🎯 Why work with me instead of a generalist developer:
I understand what the numbers should look like — the difference between gross and net AR, why COGS needs specific exclusions, what actually matters to a CFO reading a report. That means the queries and dashboards I build aren't just technically correct — they're financially meaningful.
I'm currently building out my Upwork portfolio and taking on a few projects to demonstrate this skill set — happy to start smaller so we can build trust before a bigger engagement.
Let's talk about the reporting or analysis problem you're solving — I'll tell you honestly whether SQL/Power BI is the right tool, or if there's a simpler path to the answer you need.

I manage cross-functional coordination between logistics, finance, and operations while leading supplier evaluation and cost optimization efforts.
Previously, at Masel Trade, I served as Operations Manager, where I led the full setup of procurement, logistics, and import/export structures. I was responsible for supplier selection, documentation, foreign currency requests, and end-to-end import/export processes through the Ethiopian Single Window Trade Portal.
