Financial Analyst at Thomson Reuters supporting GTM Finance across the Legal Small Law Firms, Global Print, and Tax & Accounting segments. My work sits at the intersection of sales analytics, financial reporting, and data infrastructure — I build and maintain dashboards in Power BI, SAP Business Objects, and Alteryx to track sales performance, revenue trends, renewal risk, and customer retention across North America, the UK, and Ireland. I work directly with sales leadership across my segments, providing financial analysis and ad hoc reporting to support strategic decisions around product sales growth and cross-sell opportunities, and partner closely with the VP of Finance for the Legal segment on go-to-market analysis and reporting that shapes segment-level strategy. I also lead commission accruals, expense forecasting, and quota attainment analysis that feed directly into segment-level P&L and strategic planning decisions.


Beyond reporting and analytics, I have developed an agentic model and AI-powered assistant to support accounts receivable forecasting for the Legal Small Law Firms segment, helping the business proactively identify at-risk customers, reduce revenue lapses, and improve retention outcomes. The model incorporates customer risk scoring and lapse projection logic to give sales and finance leadership earlier visibility into cancellation risk across the book of business, enabling more targeted intervention before revenue is lost.

Alongside my work at Thomson Reuters, I was a consulting partner at Education Impact Advisors for nearly three years, a relationship that grew out of a friendship I developed during my senior year at Macalester with an alumnus who had spent his entire career in education. His depth of experience and belief in the work opened the door for me to join EIA, which is an edtech advisory firm that helps startups, school districts, state education agencies, and investment firms evaluate and de-risk K12 education investments through rigorous efficacy reviews and strategic guidance. The work has deepened my ability to translate complex analysis into actionable recommendations for stakeholders across both the public and private education sectors.

Prior to my full-time role I interned at Thomson Reuters in Tax & Accounting, where I led an M&A impact assessment and built executive-facing reporting on customer lifecycle metrics, and at Black Star Group in Ghana, where I developed Power BI dashboards that improved operational efficiency by 38% and supported buy-side investment research for 20+ clients.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and French from Macalester College (GPA 3.71), where I was inducted into the Omicron Delta Epsilon Economics Honor Society and recognized with multiple awards including the Kofi Annan Scholarship for Academic Achievement, the Karl C. Sandberg Endowed Prize for French Studies, and the Pitts Scholarship Award for French Studies. I also completed a study abroad program in International Business at Sorbonne Université in Paris. During my time at Macalester I founded the first chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success on campus, creating a space for high-achieving students to access mentorship, build professional skills, and develop as leaders. I am pursuing an MBA to deepen my strategic finance and leadership capabilities, with a long-term goal of moving into a senior finance or business strategy role where I can drive growth decisions at the organizational level.

Hi
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, I see a strong and well-rounded early-career profile, especially with your finance and analytics work where you’ve demonstrated real impact through dashboarding, forecasting, and even building an AI-driven model for retention while working with senior stakeholders.

Your GPA from Macalester, along with scholarships and leadership experience like founding a student organization, further strengthens your profile. That said, with around 2 years of experience, you are currently on the younger side for top US MBA programs where the average is typically closer to 3–5 years, and your goal of moving into private equity will require a very clear and credible narrative given how structured and competitive that path is. The biggest levers for you now will be achieving a strong GMAT/GRE score, continuing to build impact and progression at work, and sharpening your story.

I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target programs to see where you stand and how to boost your chances, happy to help!
No pressure, no strings - just helpful insights on where you stand and how you can strengthen your chances.
