I'm not your average finance nerd.

I approach my work with the mindset that customer service should be at the forefront. This means that I strive to help identify what my customers' needs are, and to translate them into financial terms. What I enjoy about this is that I have the opportunity to develop strategies that link customer's needs, the organization's interests.

There's nothing that's more satisfying making things work better and putting a smile on everyone's face, seriously.

Of course I speak pro-forma and revenue projection, but I'm also a comprehensive business strategist. Teasing apart complex problems, quantifying opportunities and innovating new business model keeps me excited. I'm a creative thinker and love finding new ways of working better

Professional Specialties include: finance, business planning, statistical analysis, lean process improvement, public speaking/presentations, and data visualizations.

I'm also a globetrotter, budding photographer and polyglot (I'm getting pretty good at speaking Spanish and Portuguese).

I'm right over at [email protected], or @simmsand on twitter if you ever want to talk process improvement, FP&A, travel or photography.
