About

Where finance meets data.

I build the numbers behind decisions. Bookkeeping, reconciliations and reporting for organisations from high-turnover SMEs to a 650M hospital development, now automated and modelled with data analytics.

On the finance side I have handled A/P, A/R, multi-currency reconciliations, payroll, budgets and monthly variance analysis, mostly in non-profit and healthcare settings.

On the data side I have built 15+ Power BI and Excel dashboards, regression forecasts for labour demand and pricing, and a full three-statement and DCF model of NVIDIA from its SEC filings.

Today I work as Data Analyst and Registry Officer at Magna Carta College, which partners with Buckinghamshire New University. My job is to automate the manual student records system and turn that data into a dashboard that supports decisions. I'm looking for an FP&A or data analyst role where the models I build feed real decisions.

FP&A and modellingFlagship modelPersonal project

NVIDIA Corporation, financial model and valuation

A sell-side style model I built independently, and the clearest single proof of my modelling depth. It has five linked sheets: an executive dashboard with a live Base, Bull and Bear scenario toggle, a formula-linked three-statement model with a live balance check, a ratio dashboard with conditional-formatting heatmaps, and a full DCF valuation with a CAPM-based WACC build and two terminal value methods.

Historicals come from NVIDIA's own SEC filings (Form 10-K and Form 8-K earnings releases, FY2023 to FY2026). Share price, beta, shares outstanding and the 10-year Treasury yield were captured live for the WACC. Every KPI on the dashboard is a formula output, so changing the scenario toggle recalculates the whole model, the ratios and the valuation.

FP&ADataSafeshift

Seasonal labour demand and pricing model

Historical booking-lead data was going unused in staffing decisions. I fitted a linear regression to forecast seasonal demand and fed it directly into scheduling. I then layered a multi-variable pricing model on top, using booking trends, local inflation and macroeconomic variables, to protect margins through the season.

ResultData-driven staff scheduling and margin-aware pricing.

Fleet depreciation and renewal model

A depreciation and maintenance model for capital assets across the vehicle and equipment fleet. It gives leadership a lifecycle view of each asset in place of ad hoc replacement decisions.
