Dear Daniel Brooks,
I am applying for the Financial Analyst position at NorthBridge Capital. Over the past 5 years, I have built models that improved forecasting accuracy and supported executive decision-making.
At Meridian Finance, I implemented a quarterly budgeting framework that aligned cross-functional teams and reduced variance by 12%. I am proficient in SQL, Excel, and Power BI and enjoy translating complex data into actionable insights.
I am excited about NorthBridge Capital’s growth strategy and would welcome the opportunity to contribute my analytical rigor to support portfolio optimization and performance tracking.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute.
