Top Rated Financial Controller with 100% Job Success. I turn messy financials into clean, decision-ready reporting. Managing $75M+ in monthly supply chain cost reporting at Schindler Elevator and building $250M+ global pipeline forecasts at Park Place Technologies taught me one thing: executives don't need more data. They need the right numbers, clearly presented, on time. Here's what I do for clients on Upwork: ✅ FP&A & Financial Modeling — rolling forecasts, scenario analysis, budget-vs-actual, acquisition impact models (EBITDA, debt), and board-ready financial packages in Excel or Power BI ✅ Cost Accounting & Variance Analysis — standard costing, margin analysis, supply chain finance, and cost center reporting using SAP, QuickBooks or Excel ✅ Executive Dashboards & BI Reporting — Power BI and Excel dashboards built for C-suite consumption: clean, dynamic, and drillable ✅ Financial Controller Work — month-end close, P&L reporting across entities, chart of accounts cleanup, and management reporting that actually gets read ✅ Financial Data Cleanup & Modeling — if your Excel model is held together with duct tape and prayer, I rebuild it properly Tools I work in daily: Excel (advanced), Power BI, SAP, Salesforce, SQL, Tableau, QuickBooks Online My background: 5+ years across manufacturing (Schindler), technology (Park Place Technologies), and multi-entity operations (Girl & Dug Inc.). Dual degrees in Mathematics and Finance from Earlham College. Every deliverable I produce is clean, documented, and built so your team can use it without me on the call. Ready to work? Message me — I typically respond within 2 hours.

Most professionals do not need generic career advice. They need someone who can help them understand what is actually happening at work, what their boss may not be saying, how to position themselves better, and what move to make next. I help ambitious professionals navigate workplace challenges, career decisions, difficult managers, leadership expectations, promotions, and performance concerns. Before consulting, I was an Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase, where I led large operations teams, managed high-stakes work, mentored employees, and helped people grow into stronger professionals and leaders. I also served as a U.S. Army officer, where leadership, communication, accountability, and decision-making were not optional. I can help you think through questions like: • Am I doing well in my role or missing something important? • How do I handle a difficult boss or unclear expectations? • Should I stay, quit, transfer, or push for promotion? • How do I communicate better with leadership? • How do I become a stronger manager or team lead? • Why do I feel stuck even though I am working hard? • How do I recover from a mistake, bad review, or workplace conflict? My style is direct, practical, and grounded. I am not here to give you vague motivational advice. I help you understand the situation, see your options clearly, and leave with a practical next step. My background includes: • Former Executive Director, JPMorgan Chase Operations • Former U.S. Army Officer • MBA and PMP • Experience leading teams, mentoring professionals, improving performance, and navigating complex organizations • Founder/operator of multiple businesses If you need an experienced outside perspective on your career, workplace situation, boss, role, or next move, let’s talk.
