I’m looking for a finance professional who can sit with our team in Bengaluru and take full ownership of project-based budgeting and forecasting. The work is hands-on and must be done onsite so you can gather real-time inputs from project managers, validate assumptions face to face, and quickly iterate models. Your core mandate is financial analysis focused on budgeting and forecasting at the individual-project level. I will rely on you to: • Build or refine dynamic budget models in Excel (or Google Sheets if you prefer) that track cost categories, billing milestones, and cash-flow timing. • Produce rolling forecasts that highlight variances versus plan and surface red-flag items early enough for corrective action. • Translate the numbers into clear, actionable insights for non-finance stakeholders, ideally through concise decks or lightweight dashboards. You should be comfortable extracting data from our existing accounting system, reconciling it with project inputs, and presenting your findings during weekly review meetings. Acceptance criteria 1. A working, spreadsheet-based model tailored to at least one live project, complete with scenario toggles. 2. A forecast report covering the next three quarters, including variance analysis and commentary. 3. A brief walkthrough (in person) so the internal team can maintain and update the model after you wrap up. If you have prior experience with project costing, strong Excel skills, and the ability to collaborate onsite in Bengaluru, let’s discuss timelines and next steps.

As an experienced Finance Professional with 4 years of experience and currently a CA finalist, I possess the skills necessary to excel in the role of an Onsite Project Budgeting Analyst. My extensive experience with financial management, bookkeeping and data analysis make me an ideal candidate for this position. I am comfortable working with accounting systems and extracting data to build or refine dynamic budget models to accommodate cost categories, billing milestones, and cash-flow timing just like you require. In my previous roles, I've gained substantial familiarity with Excel that I believe puts me a cut above other candidates. Not only can I provide you with thoughtful forecasts that highlight variances versus plan and surface red-flag items early enough for corrective action, but I can also share them through concise decks or lightweight dashboards for easy comprehension by non-finance stakehold

With my strong background in accounting and project management, I believe I am well-equipped to take ownership of your budgeting and forecasting needs. Not only have I mastered Excel, a key tool in financial analysis, but I have also found ways to integrate accounting systems with Excel to streamline data extraction and reconciliation—improving the efficiency and accuracy of the process. Beyond your specific requirements, my broader skill set includes graphic design. While this may not be directly relevant, it does speak to my creative problem-solving abilities—traits that are pivotal in budgeting and forecasting.

Moreover, having worked across diverse projects in the past, I know that each requires a granular understanding to achieve accurate budgeting and forecasting. My solid project management skills help me interrogate assumptions, iterate models dynamically with real-time inputs, which is valuable for this assignment. As a testament to my capabilities, I will ensure knowledge transfer before wrapping up so your team can maintain and update the model effectively going forward.
