Laura Kenny

I’m a Finance Analyst specialising in FP&A, forecasting, and data‑driven decision support. I thrive in roles where I can turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insight and help teams understand the story behind the numbers. My experience spans multi‑entity reporting, KPI development, budgeting, and performance analysis, with a strong focus on improving processes and building reporting that leaders can actually use.

I’m passionate about modernising finance through better tools and smarter workflows. Whether it’s automating reports, refining forecasting models, or improving data integrity, I enjoy creating systems that save time, reduce errors, and support better decisions. I’m currently strengthening my analytics toolkit with Power BI (PL‑300) and SQL to deepen my impact in FP&A environments.

I work best in collaborative, fast‑moving settings where curiosity, clarity, and continuous improvement are valued. My goal is always the same: make finance more insightful, more efficient, and more connected to the wider business.

I’m a finance professional specialising in FP&A, forecasting, and data‑driven reporting across multi‑entity environments.

I work closely with operational and commercial stakeholders, translating financial performance into clear actions and helping refine assumptions to improve forecast reliability. My background includes roles in recruitment, charity, and high‑volume retail, giving me a strong understanding of cost drivers, workforce dynamics, and operational performance.
