Candidate Profile for a Commercial Finance Analyst / FP&A

Having completed her SAICA articles at a mid-tier audit firm, this candidate moved into fund accounting as a Senior Accountant before pivoting into commercial finance with a global retailer. There she built and presented business cases, sales estimates and P&Ls for new store deals and renovations, successfully defending CAPEX allocations to global stakeholders, alongside rental and facility cost budgeting and portfolio performance reporting. Comfortable across Power BI, SAP, NetSuite and CaseWare, she is a polished presenter who comes across as thoughtful, mature and genuinely passionate about FP&A, and is looking for her next commercial or analytical finance role.
