Ben Hazzard Email & Phone Number

Experienced financial analyst specializing in accounting, analytics, and programming. Post graduating from the University of Vermont, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Accounting, I started my career at Grant Thornton, where I have been able to help drive data-backed decisions during the M&A transaction process. To support these decisions, I have depended on my computer science and accounting background to help create informative models using transactional-level company data. My computer science background has helped me quickly navigate data obstacles and ensure the delivery of the model is on time. In contrast, my accounting background has helped me identify the most relevant trends to the Company and the transaction. Together, these skills have allowed me to become an efficient and reliable member of the Grant Thornton team.Currently, I am a Senior Associate at Grant Thornton with three years of experience within Transactional Services. Throughout my time at Grant Thornton, I have had the opportunity to be an active participant in over 50 M&A deals. Across these deals, I have built up a deep understanding of the following subjects –- Retention analysis- Customer purchasing behavior- Blending transactional detail data with P&L data to create a cohesive database that aligns with the financials- Cohort analysis- Revenue forecasts- Customer purchasing behavior- Blending transactional detail data with P&L data to create a cohesive database that aligns with the financials- Ramping locations vs. legacy locationsOutside of work, I am an avid skier; during the 2022-2023 ski season, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to live in Salt Lake City, UT where I skied at Park City, Alta, and in the backcountry - I am now living in NYC, and plan to spend as many weekends I can at Mount Snow.
