Financial Analysis Process Improvement

Turning complexity into clear, actionable insight.

I work in finance, executing securities transactions and account changes for clients under pressure. I'm looking to bring that same rigor to financial analysis: reading the numbers, weighing the tradeoffs, and building the dashboards that make the right call obvious, with an eye for the processes those numbers run through.

GovSight: Financial Analysis, Pricing & Product Design

Built the competitive financial analysis behind the pricing strategy for GovSight, an AI-powered financial platform that connects directly into a city's existing accounting system: $30K/year versus $120K+ in combined competitor costs, and pitched the resulting $90K/year in projected savings to 10 municipalities. Co-founded the company and served as COO, also leading end-to-end UI/UX design across the platform's three core tools: Navi (what-if scenario planning), Mantis (an AI finance co-pilot), and Vatica (departmental financial insights).

Automated Billing Audit Pipeline

Designed a three-stage automation pipeline for a retirement planning firm (name withheld) to catch billing discrepancies between signed client agreements and what was actually charged. AI extraction turns signed PDFs into structured records, a deterministic audit matches every charge against what was authorized, and a Microsoft Teams agent lets staff ask questions like "did this client sign up for this fee?" and get a sourced answer without touching the underlying systems directly.

Trade Notification Sync

Designed an automation to close a gap where trade confirmations sometimes never reached clients. The system watches a read-only shared sheet from the firm's clearing company for changes, checks each change against the firm's own records to tell a new trade from a correction, and sends the confirmation directly, so a missed notification no longer depends on someone noticing it was missing.

What I'm building toward

A career as a financial analyst where the analysis I run and the dashboards I build actually change how a team makes decisions, not just reports that get filed away.

I'm Alexander, working toward a career as a financial analyst. I care about the "how," not just the "what": how the numbers tell the real story, how a process actually runs, how a team makes decisions. Client-facing finance work has sharpened that instinct daily, and I've also co-founded a startup, run sales operations, and picked up technical skills like dashboards and data tools to back it up.
