Analyst’s Perspective
The company was launching a new business model, just over a year in. They were facing some internal disorganization and also needed help with financial planning. During my secondment, I developed project management tools and built financial forecasts to assess break-even for the business under different growth scenarios. This allowed the organization to better organize and monitor tasks across team members and more accurately budget for the capital they had left. In addition, I was involved in capacity transfer and coaching for the company's employees. I trained some of the staff on basic data analytics and financial modelling, preparing PowerPoint presentations, etc. so that they could do the basics faster and more efficiently. - Analyst, supporting a regional bank
