Ali Gruett, CPA
I am actively seeking a role as a financial analyst, data analyst, or business intelligence analyst, where I can leverage my skills and experience to drive data-driven insights and contribute to organizational success.
I am a results-oriented CPA licensed Audit Manager with over 5 years of experience specializing in internal audits and monitoring activities for diverse federally funded programs. A graduate from the State University of New York at New Paltz, I hold a bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA focused in public accountancy.
As an audit manager, I have successfully managed internal audits and reviews, developed audit plans and strategies, and performed data analysis using Power Query to identify anomalies and trends. I have also maintained accurate and organized audit documentation, prepared reports, and facilitated communication between external auditors and the agency. One of my notable accomplishments is developing a Power BI dashboard to upgrade the audit tracking function for not-for-profit organizations that have contracts with the agency.
In my pursuit of expanding my skill set, I recently completed the Google Data Analytics Certificate program. This certification has equipped me with practical experience in collecting, transforming, and organizing data for in-depth analysis. By leveraging these newfound skills, I am adept at generating actionable insights that drive informed decision-making processes.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Power BI serves as a strong foundation for my data analysis and visualization capabilities. I leverage these tools to extract valuable insights, identify trends, and present complex data in a clear and concise manner. Currently, I am further developing my expertise in SQL and R to deepen my data manipulation and analytics capabilities.
Outside of work, I enjoy taking art classes, especially anything to do with ceramics or pottery. I love taking a long weekend to explore a new city or town. Fitness and health play integral roles in my life and you'll often find me at the gym a few times a week.
Thank you for visiting my online portfolio, and I welcome the opportunity to connect with potential employers to explore how my skills and experience can contribute to your organization's success.
