As an Analyst at Accenture, I am focused on improving efficiency across different departments through advanced Excel, including Pivot tables, Vlookup, and macros. My initiatives have saved the company over 80 hours per week, and I have been recognized for my contributions by being accepted into the AYLP management program after just three months. I analyze and document current-state systems, processes, and environments of nine departments to support project design of future state systems, processes and environments. I also track and report on project and milestone deliverable status to ensure timely project delivery and communication of updates to internal and external stakeholders. My knowledge transfer initiatives for ERP systems, including SAP, xTuple, JD Edwards, and Avanti, have reduced expected completion time by 30%.Prior to my time at Accenture, I was a Business Consultant at Business Consulting Group, where I conducted market research and analysis to build out a new operational wing for a capital company.
