ANNUAL REPORT · MMXXI–MMXXVI
Five years of compounding — close, cash & clients.
Treat every account like it has to balance. Budgets owned, variances flagged early, close on schedule — and clients who feel like people, not transactions.
THE HABIT THREE CLIENT-FACING YEARS LEFT ME WITH.
I work the part of the business where the numbers have to be right: preparing and re-forecasting project budgets, then writing the budget-vs-actual commentary that explains why a variance exists rather than just that it does. I code and approve expenses and run vendor and contractor invoices end-to-end — the procure-to-pay lane — so clean cost data reaches client reporting. At month-end I support the close with accruals, prepaids, reclassifications and account reconciliations, plus the documentation that keeps Finance audit-ready.
Around that desk work I've deliberately built out the rest of the analyst toolkit: how the three statements link, the working-capital levers (A/R aging, DSO), the 13-week cash forecast, rolling and driver-based forecasting, and the decision math — NPV, IRR, payback — that sits behind any real spend approval.
Before operations, I spent three years facing clients — consultations, needs discovery, and plain-language answers to complicated questions. I hold a Mutual Funds licence (CIFC, Ontario), completed a Bachelor of Commerce at Humber College in April 2025, and I'm a CFA Level I candidate for 2026.
“Numbers are how a business tells the truth about itself — I wanted the job of listening to them.”
HOW I WORK
Budget preparation and re-forecasting; budget-vs-actual variance with written commentary; expense coding and approval; procure-to-pay end-to-end; month-end close support — accruals, prepaids, reclassifications, reconciliations that tie out.
Long-standing relationships built through consultations, personalized solutions, and proactive follow-up — the discipline that keeps order-to-cash moving, because billing is easy when the relationship is already good.
Targets exceeded by 25% through relationship depth and contract extensions — plus the analyst's read on what revenue is worth: bookings versus recognized, retention and renewals as forecast inputs.
Translating between the numbers and the people who act on them: finding the real question, then explaining the answer — a variance, a cash position, a forecast — in language a non-finance stakeholder can decide on.
Excel as the core instrument — lookups, pivots, reconciliation-grade hygiene — with Power BI, CRM and GL workflows, and SQL and Python for the pulls. AI tooling automates the gathering so the time goes to analysis.
New clients decided in their first 90 days whether the relationship would last — and onboarding was reactive, so retention hinged on luck.
Redesigned the journey from first contact through day 90: proactive communication touchpoints, personalized check-ins, and holistic needs discovery up front.
96% client satisfaction and dramatically improved retention across the book.
Quarterly targets set against an established book — growth had to come from relationship depth, not volume.
Strategic needs assessments, contract extensions, attentive follow-up, and client trust built over time.
Targets exceeded by 25%, quarter over quarter — while holding 96% satisfaction.
A centre trailing on the two numbers that decide a location's future: 68% client satisfaction, 30% of available seats filled. The service standard had slipped — and candidates felt it before management measured it.
Satisfaction and utilization aren't two problems. Candidates don't rebook — and the organizations that sponsor testing don't route seats — to a centre they don't trust. Fix the experience first, and the seats follow.
Customer-centric delivery set as the standard, not the aspiration. Proactive follow-up on every issue instead of waiting for escalation. Strategic relationship management with the sponsors who book the seats — and a 15-person team coached to hold the standard independently.
Satisfaction up 26 points to 94%. Utilization up 50 points to 80%. Regional Best Test Centre recognition — earned in a year, and the proof behind every client-facing figure in this report.
Clients arriving with products in mind rather than goals — and portfolios that reflected neither.
Comprehensive needs assessments across a book of 100+ clients — capturing each person’s goals and circumstances, then turning them into a clear follow-up plan.
100+ clients with plans matched to goals — the relationships that later drove retention and referrals.
Drag any week's net flow — or tab to a bar and use the arrow keys — and the position, the minimum and the buffer breaches recompute live. Try the stress case: receipts slip, one payment lands hard, and the desk shows exactly which weeks run thin. Built from the 13-week discipline described above; every figure is synthetic.
