• Facilitate in-quarter monthly business reviews, enabling the organization to respond proactively to short-term budget fluctuations, while building and tracking KPIs across our businesses
• Deliver monthly and quarterly management reporting by analyzing financial performance, synthesizing key trends, assessing business risks, and communicating clear, actionable insights to senior leadership
