Hire the Best HORIZON Specialists

I am a Senior Financial and Treasury Analyst with over 1,400 hours of Top Rated Plus experience working with enterprise and PE-backed companies. I build financial models, manage treasury functions, and turn complex data into clear analysis that leadership teams rely on to make practical business decisions. My role isn’t just to hand you a spreadsheet; it is to make sure the numbers are accurate, clearly presented, and actually useful for guiding strategy, managing cash, and evaluating risk. 💡 What I do: Financial Modeling & Decision Support • Build clean, adaptable financial models to forecast growth, evaluate pricing, and assess new business opportunities. • Analyze unit economics, margin performance, and ROI on major capital projects or expansions. • Work directly with founders and leadership to test assumptions and understand the financial impact of strategic decisions. FP&A & Executive Reporting • Manage end-to-end budgeting, rolling forecasts, and monthly actual-to-budget variance analysis. • Create straightforward reporting packages and board decks that highlight key takeaways without drowning stakeholders in unnecessary data. • Build public comparable benchmarking to provide context for performance and valuation. Treasury & Cash Management • Build and maintain reliable cash flow forecasts to manage liquidity and working capital needs. • Track debt compliance, covenant monitoring, and capital efficiency. • Prepare the financial data and supporting narrative required for fundraising, lender negotiations, or due diligence. 🏢 Industries I work in: CPG & E-commerce, PE-backed operating companies, Technology, and SaaS. I am a strong fit if: • You need someone who can handle the technical modeling and help you interpret the numbers to make informed decisions. • You are preparing for a board meeting, capital raise, or lender negotiation and need your reporting to be accurate and well-organized. • You want a professional analyst with enterprise experience who works proactively, communicates clearly, and takes ownership of the finance function. Let's connect and elevate your financial strategy.
