9+ years experience as an finance professional

I build things. I automate things. I visualise things. I do this all at scale.

I am a senior finance professional with 9+ years of international experience in both public and high-growth organisations. I specialise in strategic finance, FP&A, and financial modelling.
I have worked in 2 countries, lived in 5 cities, and travelled across more than 20 cities. I plan to grow these numbers year-on-year.
I am adept at helping leadership execute its strategic, operational, and financial goals. I have scaled the financial modelling capabilities of large and small companies (Amazon, BCA, etc.) across multiple industries.
My achievements (View CV below) have shown I can learn, at speed, the landscape of an organisation, and optimise and scale.

I spent my formative years specialising as a financial modeller and business partner.
I implement financial modelling best practises (like FAST) whilst optimising reporting and budgeting capabilities. I optimise by centralising the financial modelling function, standardising best practices for creating models, and automating process flows through Power Query and BI.
I serve as a coach to the next-gen of interns to improve their technical skills as well as soft skills.
I have implemented Wim Hof meditation inside of companies as well as externally. I have led guided meditation sessions throughout Luxembourg City, Barcelona, and the UK. I personally implement Wim Hof as a framework to manage short and long-term stressors.

At the backend/start of 2021/2022 i took time out to recentre, focus on myself, personal projects, and to plan the next 5 years of my career. Wim Hof was and continues to be beneficial.

Finance tech stack: Financial Modelling (Excel, Google Sheets, Power Query, VBA), PowerBI (inc. DAX), SQL, Netsuite, Xero, COGNOS, TM1, R, Python, Salesforce.

Fun Fact 1: My Favourite tech skill is Power Query. It reshaped how i approach designing a data model and problem-solving.

Fun Fact 2: I am a writer for FP&A Trends Group. You can access my articles at https://fpa-trends.com/author/mohammed-hussain. :)
