With over eight years of experience in the finance industry, I am an stock market enthusiast with a passion for financial reporting and forecasting. I have a strong background in accounting, revenue analysis, and budgeting, and I enjoy working with complex data and systems. I am currently a financial analyst at Boston Partners Global Investors, a leading asset management firm with over $100 billion in assets under management.As a financial analyst, I am responsible for the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close process, including recording journal entries, maintaining and reconciling general ledger accounts, preparing and reviewing monthly balance sheet account reconciliations, profit and loss statements, trend analysis, and management reports. I also record revenue accruals and recognition for various clients, manage expense items relating to the UK business, and control the entire STP process. I use my attention to detail, analytical skills, and social networking abilities to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, and to ensure accuracy and compliance with accounting standards and policies. I am always eager to learn new skills and tools, and to contribute to the success and growth of the organization.I am also a former college wrestler and enjoy staying active in my free time - my favorite activities include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, basketball, soccer, and hiking with my dog. I love to be outside as much as possible and have a passion for healthy living & eating.
