I am writing to express my interest in the Financial Analyst position you have

posted. My attached resume highlights my broad range of experience and
qualifications that closely align with the position description.

My accumulated experiences focus on my ability to gather data from a range of

sources and apply that information to developing plans for both the short and long
term in a variety of business segments. My work has included interacting with all
levels in an organization, providing timely updates on key trending data,
anticipating changes that may be needed to accomplish goals and utilization of a
variety of software tools that have included advanced use of Excel and proprietary
report-writing software.

In my position as Senior Financial Analyst Modeling & Planning, Treasury & Risk
Management, at Target Canada I was responsible for the development and use of a
ten-year financial model used to analyze what if scenarios. This work took
advantage of my data analysis skills, my ability to interact with the senior managers
of the university, my ability to think strategically and anticipate the future needs of
the university, my ability to work with very detailed data while keeping an eye on
the bigger picture and having the skill to develop and give succinct, informational
and actionable presentations. Target Canada is undergoing a need for staff
reduction and my position has been included in those that are being eliminated.
