About Likhitha Reddy Koppula

Hi, I’m a Financial Analyst who sits at the busy crossroads of finance, data and tech. Over the past four years I’ve:• Guided client workflows from legacy tools into Dynamics 365 & SAP S/4HANA, moving 500k records with 99.8 % accuracy.• Trimmed month-end reporting from 5 days to 1 by pairing Excel macros with Power BI dashboards.• Spotted three hidden bottlenecks through SQL-driven variance checks, lifting process speed 15 %.• Saved $1.2 M in annual costs by modelling the real-world impact of system integrations.• In India, helped 180+ city sites cut KYC costs 20 % and raise SLA hits from 85 % to 97 % using OCR, RPA and Power BI.What sets me apart? I’m fluent in both balance sheets and Git commits. I enjoy translating tech talk for finance leaders—and finance goals for engineers. Tools I open every day: Python, SQL, Excel, Power BI, Tableau, AWS, SAP, Dynamics 365.M.S. in Management Data Analytics means I balance the “why” with the “how,” while my engineering roots keep me curious about every workflow nuance. My next chapter: collaborating with global teams that value accurate data, simple visuals and calm problem-solving.Let’s connect if you’d like to swap dashboard tips, talk data migration wins, or see a live Power BI demo.
