My core focus throughout my FP&A career has been providing timely, accurate, and insightful information to inform management decision making and compliance. Building my professional skill set as a trainee and senior in several accountancy practices in Galway, I moved into financial accountancy with a solicitors practice, before developing my skills in a bio medical research company, before joining Medtronic in financial analysis. I have significantly exceeded expectations and consistently progressed and stepped up to principal analyst level, crafting a robust set of technical skills in all aspects of FP&A.Succeeding as a principal financial analyst has required adaptability across inventory and volume, consolidations and transformation, product cost analytics and manufacturing consolidations. My capacity to parse complexity, provide insight for forecasts and commentaries, backed up by a strong understanding of operations, finances and commercial challenges have been vital. I enjoy contributing to financial performance, providing guidance to site finance teams, collaborating with operations and finance partners, global FP&A and supply chain to ensure robust processes, analysis and presentation.My value add as a principal financial analyst is rooted in a self-directed approach, with the ability to lead the execution of consolidation and reviews, investigations, content preparation for reviews, and strategic business advisory for performance measurement and risk management. I prioritise high quality and timely execution of work, combined with robust relationship management skills, the ability to partner across functions, deal with challenges in processes, and I have a background setting up systems in a finance department.
