In this role with BankCard Services, I provided financial reporting and other support to six different Affiliate Banks located in eight states throughout the Western and Central US. We provided reporting and support for each of them individually as well as coordinate work across the Enterprise as a whole. The majority of my work was done in Excel where I prepared monthly financial reports for our Credit Card, Debit Card, and ATM products. My Excel skills are strong and I regularly used pivot tables, data validation, vlookup, if, sumif, and other formulas to assist in my work. I also have experience in writing Macros to manipulate and format source data into useable information. I did a lot of ad-hoc analysis and financial modeling for different projects and scenarios.
