- Partner with Accounting to maintain consistency between budgets, forecasts, and reported GAAP financials, and collaborate with GTM and business leaders to align financial forecasts with strategic priorities and commercial realities.

- Owned revenue forecasts and independently crafted financial narratives for GTM leadership and executive/Board audiences.
- Built integrated financial models and scenario analyses in Excel, including integrated financial models and scenario analysis, plus hands-on experience with Adaptive, NetSuite, Tableau, and MS Office.
