About Kim Avila

I am an experienced Strategic Finance Leader that leads with humility and authenticity. I strongly value collaboration through business partnerships across all levels and functions. I have a demonstrated history in FP & A; developing and driving the annual budgeting and forecasting. Experienced in GAAP Accounting, Management Reporting, Root Cause Analysis and creating / presenting Monthly Business Reviews to include key insights, risks and opportunities with recommendations for performance improvement. I have the ability to connect the dots and tell the story, through numbers, to my business partners and leadership. I thrive in an environment where there is strong cross-functional collaboration as I believe that building respectful and trusting relationships makes for a better and stronger team. I very much enjoy partnering across the business and levels to teach finance to non-finance professionals.Beyond the more tactical Finance, I provide a fresh look at processes and streamline for optimal efficiency. Solving problems is fun for me, especially when working with a team to collaborate and drive change that moves the business forward. I believe in being a good human and I show up to work and life accordingly.
