Description

My name is Erik, and I help companies turn raw data — from Excel, ERP systems, databases, or cloud sources — into modern, automated, and decision-ready dashboards using Power BI.

I specialize in translating complex financial and operational data into clear visualizations and meaningful KPI reporting. My background in finance and FP&A allows me to go beyond visuals and focus on what really matters for the business: performance tracking, variance analysis, forecasting, and management reporting.

I have hands-on experience working with financial statements, budgets, cash flow analysis, and operational KPIs, and I’m comfortable bridging the gap between finance teams, business stakeholders, and data sources.

I work in a structured, analytical, and solution-oriented way, with strong expertise in Power BI, Power Query, data modeling, and reporting automation.

I can support with:

• Design and development of interactive Power BI dashboards

• Financial & FP&A reporting (P&L, cash flow, budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis)

• Data integration from Excel, SQL databases, ERP / SAP extracts, and cloud services

• KPI definition, visualization, and performance tracking

• Automation and optimization of recurring reports

I work in Spanish, English and German and am available for both hybrid and remote projects.
