About Panah

Senior Finance Analyst and BI specialist with 7+ years across FP&A, reporting automation, and business intelligence in multinational environments.


My core expertise spans three areas: financial planning and analysis (budgeting, forecasting, month-end close, executive reporting), BI development in Qlik Sense (data modelling, set analysis, dashboard delivery), and finance transformation (process automation, system migrations, consolidating legacy reporting).
I've worked across pharma and financial services, building reporting ecosystems that serve global finance teams and partnering directly with senior leadership to turn data into decisions.


Tools: Qlik Sense (advanced), Excel (advanced), Power BI, SQL.


Open to remote project work across Europe: finance reporting, BI builds, FP&A support, and dashboard migrations.
