Financial Data Analyst & Chartered AccountantMicrosoft Certified: PL-300 & DP-900Power BI, SQL, Python, Microsoft Fabric

I enable finance teams to spend less time fixing data and more time using it.

About Me

Finance expertise first; data and automation as the enablers

I'm a Financial Data Analyst and ACA Chartered Accountant with over a decade of experience in financial reporting, FP&A and data analytics. My career began in traditional finance (month-end close, management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and board reporting), where I saw teams spend more time reconciling spreadsheets than analysing performance.

That led me into data analytics, not to leave finance, but to modernise it. Today I build Power BI semantic models, SQL data pipelines and Python-enabled financial workflows that make reporting reliable, scalable and auditable. I also built fda-toolkit, a Python package on PyPI with 67 financial data analysis functions.
