About Danierian Williams

Never complain about having too much on your plate when your goal is to eat.\"Finance has always made more sense to me as a systems problem than an accounting one. My background is in mathematics and economics — not because I wanted to work in academia, but because I wanted to understand how complex systems behave and how to model them. That lens shapes everything about how I approach this work.I have a natural love for problem solving — and I\'ve spent my career finding ways to make that useful. Today I lead FP & A for a litigation-focused consulting firm, owning the full finance stack from NetSuite architecture and GL reconciliation to Power BI dashboards and Python-built data pipelines. I sit directly beside the CFO, which means I see every financial decision the business makes and understand what drives them.What I\'m building toward is a finance function that runs as intelligently as the businesses it serves — where leadership has real-time visibility, controls are airtight, and the analytical layer is sophisticated enough to surface opportunities before they\'re obvious. That\'s the kind of work I find most meaningful.If you\'re thinking about the intersection of quantitative rigor, financial strategy, and modern data infrastructure, that\'s where I live.Outside of work, I\'m usually reading, growing something in the garden, or finding a new subject to learn about; I\'ve found a way to turn curiosity into a hobby.

Experience

1. Financial Planning and Analysis Manager

   Delta V Forensic Engineering

   Jan 2026 — Present · Charlotte, NC, US

   I sit at the intersection of financial strategy and systems architecture — owning the full finance stack for a litigation-focused consulting firm, reporting directly to the CFO, and building the analytical infrastructure the business runs on.My work spans the complete FP & A lifecycle: budgeting, variance analysis, GL reconciliation, labor cost allocation, and executive reporting. What separates my approach is that I don\'t just interpret financial data — I engineer the systems that produce it.Recent impact:Transformed executive reporting from weekly to daily by automating Power BI dashboards with live NetSuite connectivityReduced bank and credit card reconciliation from 3–5 days to same-day via automated OFX pipelines and NetSuite Match Bank DataBuilt a direct labor cost allocation model reconciled to the GL — used in external audit and quality of earnings engagementsDeveloped prepaid reconciliation templates and bank integration workflows that strengthened the firm\'s financial controls infrastructureI manage one direct report and operate as a hands-on technical lead — equally comfortable presenting variance analysis to the CFO and conducting financial analysis when requested.
