Summary |
I build and maintain the budget models finance teams actually use, currently a $120M consolidated model covering 6 business units. Over 3 years I cut monthly close from 9 days to 4 by rebuilding the close checklist and killing 31 manual journal entries. I write the quarterly board pack and I have strong opinions about merged cells.
