Pean.
I turn enterprise-scale financial data into forecasts, models, and reporting that leadership actually acts on — built on five years across Fortune 500 FP&A and startup operations.
About
I'm a Financial Analyst with two years of Fortune 500 FP&A experience supporting $9B+ in enterprise operations, plus three years leading operations for an e-commerce startup. My strengths sit at the intersection of financial modeling, Excel automation, and KPI reporting — I build the systems that turn raw transactional data into forecasts and dashboards leadership can act on. I'm looking to keep streamlining reporting, delivering insight to executives, and supporting day-to-day financial initiatives, all grounded in GAAP principles. Based in Raleigh, NC, and open to relocation.
