His assessment scores were solid: Excel = 86%; Junior Accounting = 81%.
Our candidate is a highly experienced and educated financial analyst with extensive excel and data extraction experience. In his most recent role, he implemented a complete overhaul of a financial reporting system where he created new operational reports and financial reports that allowed in-depth variance analysis. During the process he significantly enhanced and streamlined the period-end data loading process. Previous employers have given him a 10/10 on his technical computer skills, and also say that his skill level is well above average compared to others in similar roles. Assessment results: Excel 92%; Advanced Accounting 88%.
This designated CGA was responsible for financial statement preparation in his last role, including foreign exchange transactions and consolidation.
