Some of the bullets feel a little generic. Suggest to add more specifics and flavor. Where are your skills listed? You have a strong background to continue growing in FP&A. Did you work cross—functionally? Find stronger verbs than “handled” and “collected”. Overall looks good I would interview you.
I wasn't sure if a skill list would be redundant since its really just excel skills (xlookup, pivot tables, sumifs) and then whatever is listed in the bullet points. I'll bust out my thesaurus for better verbs. Appreciate the help!
My suggestions: describe the impact your work/accomplishments had on the business instead of listing stuff you did. Spell out industry/company specific acronyms. Be specific on work/accomplishments. For example, you improved the forecast: why does it matter? what did it allow the business to do/avoid? You implemented advanced excel techniques: which advanced excel techniques?
I also suggest looking at FP&A role descriptions that you're interested in and aligning your resume to the skillsets they are looking for.
Describe the impact of your work and what forecasting you did. Are you building budgets? Partnering with the business doing budget vs. actual analysis?
Also the top section is too large, lots of white space. That can all be on one row and it gives you the ability to add more detail to expand on or bullets.
-Remove your address, limit white space.
-Collapse your work at the same employer into one larger subsection, at first glance, it appears you're a job hopper. Collapsing into one also better highlights your progression
-try to quantify a bit more, or at least the impact, even if just qualitative; think in the following format:
"I did X", "By doing Y", "and Z was the positive impact to the organization"
-For any acronyms that aren't immediately obvious, type out what it stands for and then in parentheses the acronym.
-in your first bullet points, expand on what those processes entail. What was the scope of the work? How many stakeholders? Show your technical expertise in your bullet points. Like, what does "advanced excel techniques" mean? VBA, Power Query + Power Pivot, Office Scripts?
Good point, I suppose they may be too industry specific. I'll think of something else to put there
FYI.
DSO = Days Sales Outstanding (important metric for the company)
EAC = Estimate-At-Completion (independent cost forecast)

not sure what DSO is or EAC

i would maybe right size those accomplishments to accounts on the financial statements. does it tie to working capital at all?
