• Perform trend, sensitivity, and scenario analysis to show how changing assumptions may affect expected results.
• Prepare recurring financial reports, management summaries, and ad hoc analyses for stakeholder review.

• Ability to compare results, identify material variances, and explain drivers behind financial changes.
• Clear written communication and ability to summarize financial information for non-specialist stakeholders.
