Braden Andersen
Financial analyst in Tampa, FL.
I work in real estate finance, mostly on forecasting, variance analysis and Power BI reporting. On the side, I take on freelance work building financial models and dashboards for small real estate investors and small business owners.
What I work on
Forecasting and budgeting
Monthly cash flow forecasts and variance analysis, and a revenue reforecast and budgeting model that updates full-year projections.
Power BI development
Dashboards built end to end: star-schema data models, DAX measures, Power Query to clean and shape the source data, and reports published to the Power BI Service on a scheduled refresh.
Financial reporting
Month-end reporting across revenue and expense accounts, delivered on close deadlines and within internal controls.

About
I studied accounting at the University of South Florida and started in corporate accounting before moving into an analyst role in real estate finance, where most of my week goes to forecasts, reforecasts, variance analysis and Power BI reports.
Outside of my day job, I build models and dashboards for small real estate investors and small business owners who don't have a finance team.
