Usman Jamal J.
FP&A & Financial Modeling Consultant | Forecasting, Dashboards & CFO
I help businesses turn raw financial data into clean financial models, dashboards, reports, and management insights. I am an ACCA-qualified finance professional with 15+ years of experience across FP&A, financial accounting, budgeting, forecasting, business performance analysis, management reporting, Power BI, advanced Excel, and finance process automation. I work best with clients who need more than a generic spreadsheet. My focus is on building finance outputs that are accurate, easy to update, commercially useful, and suitable for real management decisions. I can help with: * Financial models for forecasting, cash flow, profitability, budgeting, and scenario analysis * Business plans and investor-ready financial projections * Budget vs. actual reporting, variance analysis, and performance commentary * Power BI dashboards for revenue, cost, margin, cash flow, and operational KPIs * Advanced Excel models using Power Query, Power Pivot, formulas, and automation logic * Monthly management reports, KPI packs, and performance review decks * Reporting automation to reduce manual work and improve accuracy * Finance process improvement and remote CFO-style support My background covers finance operations, accounting, shared services, strategic planning, and business performance environments. That means I understand both the finance structure and the business logic behind the numbers. My objective is simple: deliver models, dashboards, and reports that management can trust and use.
