About Kanishk Singh

Hey!Since my teenage years, I’ve been captivated by the power of finance—how strategic decisions, backed by thorough analysis, shape successful businesses. This early fascination led me to pursue a career that blends my passion for finance with my analytical mindset. Over time, I’ve evolved from a curious learner into a strategic Financial Planning Analyst, gaining experience in some of the most renowned financial institutions like Willis Towers Watson and Crisil an S&P Global company.In my four-year career, I’ve consistently focused on financial optimization, process automation, and providing data-driven insights to enhance decision-making. I have been fortunate to contribute to transformative projects, including:1. Process Automation: I successfully automated a 40-hour manual process into a streamlined 15-minute workflow using Power Query, drastically improving operational efficiency.2. Revenue Synergy Optimization: Designed and implemented an end-to-end process to separate revenue synergies from operational revenue, leveraging Power Query and Alteryx.3. Advanced Reporting: Created dynamic, data-driven dashboards with custom viewpoints in Power BI, elevating decision-making capabilities for stakeholders.4. AI Integration: Integrated AI into Microsoft tools (Excel, PowerPoint, and Power BI), transforming financial reporting and insights.5. Cost Savings: Led initiatives to identify cost-saving strategies through procurement and utility analysis, resulting in nearly $200M in savings.A defining moment in my career was leading FP & A efforts for S&P Global’s $44 billion merger with IHS Markit, where I designed processes for revenue and cost synergy recognition. This project strengthened my ability to navigate complex financial landscapes and lead under pressure. I also played a critical role in the Visible Alpha acquisition, where I applied my expertise in financial integration and cost management.Outside of work, I find balance through creativity and adventure. I enjoy painting and reading, which allow me to explore new perspectives and engage my imagination. Additionally, I spend a significant amount of time outdoors, whether it’s on a mountain hike, exploring biking trails, or tackling treks that challenge my endurance and focus. These activities keep me grounded, and motivated and provide me with the resilience necessary to excel in both my personal and professional life.With a blend of technical expertise, leadership, and a passion for continuous growth, I am eager to contribute to teams that prioritize both innovation and excellence.
