NICKY LEE, FMVA®💡

I don’t just analyze numbers — I narrate the story they’ve been trying to tell. That story often leads to sharper decisions, faster actions, and stronger margins.

I’m a finance professional who finds meaning in the numbers and turns it into momentum.

Over the past 6+ years, I’ve delivered finance that moves the business forward:

- Secured $1M loan forgiveness with a self-built model rooted in policy insight

- Cut close cycle time by 70% through reporting automation

- Drove 14% net profit margin growth by owning and optimizing the full P&L

- Built dashboards and forecasting tools that cut reporting time by 35% — and boosted exec visibility

But the real value I bring?

I don’t stop at answers — I build systems, insights, and conversations that scale. Whether it’s Power Query, stakeholder meetings, or monthly forecasts — I help teams see what matters, and act on it.

I’m also building my own brand in FP&A — not for the spotlight, but to share what I’m learning about financial storytelling, system design, and high-performance mindset. Because I believe the best finance work doesn’t hide in spreadsheets — it drives strategy, action, and trust.

I thrive where finance is a strategic partner, not a back-office function. Where insights lead to ownership. And where curiosity turns into clarity.

If you’re someone who sees finance as more than numbers, let’s connect — I’d love to swap ideas, frameworks, and a good spreadsheet trick or two.
