Led pursuit and delivery of assessment of corporate financial processes and systems for high-tech start-up company. This company needed to bring its financial processes and systems to the next level to be prepared for financial audit certification.  Timing was the critical component of this project as the company needed to achieve public audit certification very quickly.  Developed a plan focused on key priorities so rapid process improvements could be accomplished.

The client, a major credit card company, wanted to conduct a due diligence project to assess whether Oracle Hyperion Planning could be used as the back-end application to manage the  Global Client Incentives Platform (GCIP).  My team created an Hyperion Planning prototype to mock several use cases requested by the client.

Business Results

• Create Hyperion Planning application prototype
• Conduct interim prototype “dry runs” with key users in order to preview the prototype functionalities and drive out any key gaps in the package.
• Present prototype to project sponsor for “Go/No-Go” decision.

The client, a global networking solution provider, was investigating new ways to recognize revenue for products that had hardware and software bundled together.  Our team was involved in the definition of clear business procedures and processes to manage solution sales financials in accordance to GAAP (SOP 97-2) and to develop accurate financial forecasting of HW-SW solutions with “real time” variance or exception reporting/analysis capability.  My team created the conceptual design of the FMVC (Fair Market Value Calculator) module, which was the analytic application supporting the calculation of the fair market value for each component of a Solution Sale (a large bundled deal containing HW/SW products and services.)

The client, a manufacturing of civil and military aircraft, had just completed a major acquisition and needed to redesign the cost accounting models to add new dimensions/view to measure operations.  I designed a new cost accounting model taking into consideration the combined operations of the client and the new acquisition.  I also designed the data model to support the new cost accounting logic and reports.

Designed and implemented the web site to present the market offerings and credential of the Hyperion Competence center.  This site was leveraged to present to prospect clients the capabilities of the Hyperion Competence Center.
