Personal statement
Having worked in financial modelling for public sector projects for the past two years, I am
now looking forward to using my experience in a research and investment capacity.
Skills
Microsoft Excel – very strong experience of using Excel for modelling future cashflows to
gauge investor returns, cover ratios for debt, as well as other metrics. Training provided by
Operis in model audit and model development.
VBA – experience of correcting errors in macros. Training provided by Operis.
Communication – ability to communicate technical modelling issues to a range of clients, as
well as being a strong communicator within a team, often leading a small team in projects.
Numeracy – strong mathematician throughout education and into my working life. Use
problem solving skills in formulae derivation in Excel.
Finance – strong knowledge of debt provision for a range of project financings, including
PPPs.
Employment
Operis
July 2016 – present
- Worked on numerous model audit projects, including multiple site renewable energy
acquisitions in the UK, solar farm developments across Africa, road refinancing’s in
North America and other more obscure examples like mobile banking in Ethiopia and
the redevelopment of White Hart Lane (Tottenham Hotspur FC football stadium).
- I developed the project cashflow side of an operating model for the development of
Ministry of Defence training sites, collating inputs from previous models and updated
documentation. I have also been the lead modeller for the ongoing developments of
airports in Cyprus, adding functionality for multiple new debts in the case of a prolonged
construction period. This gave me a more in depth knowledge of how multiple debts can
be layered and sculpted to suit real world events.
- I have recently got involved in the advisory side of the company, taking the lead on the
modelling for new accommodation at the University of Leicester, as well as assisting on
a Norweigian road project. Both projects are approaching financial close, with Operis
having advised the clients through bid stage successfully. Advisory gives me a chance
to communicate with clients more, explaining and presenting my findings on a regular
basis and suggesting actions based on these.
