I am a strategic FP&A professional with 5 years of experience driving financial planning, budgeting, and cost control initiatives within the manufacturing sector. I excel at bridging the gap between the shop floor and the boardroom, translating operational realities into actionable financial insights that protect margins and optimize resource allocation.
Career Trajectory & Financial Leadership:
03.2019 - Present: Senior Financial Analyst at a heavy machinery manufacturing plant in the GTA. I own the annual operating plan (AOP) and the monthly rolling forecast process. I implemented a new standard costing methodology that accurately captured machine hour variances, reducing unallocated overhead by 7%. I partner directly with plant managers to review weekly scrap rates and labor efficiency variances.
07.2016 - 02.2019: Cost Accountant at an automotive parts supplier. Managed inventory valuation, conducted monthly cycle counts, and analyzed BOM (Bill of Materials) cost roll-ups.
Technical Arsenal & Manufacturing Finance:
- FP&A Tools: Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Advanced Excel (Power Query, Power Pivot, VBA).
- Costing Methods: Standard costing, activity-based costing (ABC), break-even analysis, contribution margin reporting.
- ERP Systems: SAP S/4HANA (CO-PA module), Oracle NetSuite.
I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) from the University of Toronto and am a CPA, CMA candidate. I am highly organized, deadline-driven, and possess the communication skills necessary to challenge operational leaders constructively. I am looking for an on-site FP&A leadership role in Toronto.
