Academic Projects

Sage 50 Accounting Project:
During a simulated business accounting project, I used Sage 50 to record journal entries, maintain general ledgers, and reconcile bank statements, accounts receivable, and payable. I prepared comprehensive financial statements and performed ratio and trend analyses to assess the company's performance, applying business law, ethics, and internal control principles to ensure compliance and accuracy.

Excel Financial Modeling Project:
As part of a college case study, I created financial models in Microsoft Excel using VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, and macros to automate calculations and improve data efficiency. I analyzed budget variances, developed cost allocation methods, and conducted profitability assessments, helping simulate real-world business decision-making scenarios.

Power BI Data Visualization Project:
Designed interactive Power BI dashboards integrating Excel-based financial data to visualize revenue, expense, and cash flow trends. I utilized DAX formulas to calculate key financial ratios and presented performance insights, demonstrating how visual analytics can enhance financial reporting and inform management decisions.
