Background

About Chris Barker

With 6 years of experience in full-cycle Accounts Payable, I have developed expertise in financial planning & analysis (FP & A) and business partnering, particularly within the nonprofit and SaaS industries. Skilled in NetSuite and Microsoft Office (as well as GSheet), I have successfully led multiple software onboardings and trained teams to enhance efficiency in financial operations. I specialize in cash flow management, spend analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and expense management, working closely with multiple departments to drive strategic financial decisions. My expertise includes collaborating on budget processes, forecasting, and event expense planning, ensuring accuracy and cost-effectiveness. To further enhance my skills, I have completed additional courses in Forensic Accounting, Fraud Examination, Budgeting, Financial Forecasting and Reporting, as well as Microsoft Excel. These courses have strengthened my ability to apply data-driven insights to financial strategy, forecasting, and risk assessment. With a passion for financial analysis and process optimization, I am eager to grow into more advanced analytical roles where I can leverage my expertise to provide deeper financial insights and strategic recommendations.
