Financial Analyst
Toby Harrison.
I'm a financial analyst focused on turning quarterly noise into decisions leadership can actually stand behind. My background spans FP&A and corporate development, with a focus on forecasting, variance analysis, and building models that survive scrutiny from a CFO. I like the parts of finance most people find tedious: reconciling a stubborn variance, or rebuilding a model so the next analyst doesn't dread opening it.
Work Experience
Aldermoor Partners
Own the monthly FP&A cycle for a $180M revenue business unit, including forecasting, board-deck variance narratives, and a rolling 13-week cash model. Rebuilt the annual budget model to cut close-cycle time from nine days to four.
Kestrel Manufacturing Co.
Supported corporate development on two acquisition due-diligence processes, building integration models and synergy tracking. Ran monthly variance analysis across five business units.
Prairie Analytics Co-op
Prepared client financial reporting packages and supported audit prep for a portfolio of small-business clients, and built the co-op's first standardized reporting template.
Projects
