Background

About Dennis Achuchi

I’m a finance and analytics professional who thrives at the intersection of financial strategy, and technology integration. With a foundation in FP & A, ERP migrations, and BI reporting, I help organizations turn raw financial data into actionable business insights that drive operational efficiency and profitable growth. My career journey has been defined by bridging the gap between finance and technology. Early on, I mastered the fundamentals of accounting and AR optimization, improving compliance and reducing overdue balances across large corporate portfolios. As I advanced, I took on strategic financial analyst role, automating reporting processes, and leading financial data migration efforts that aligned executive decision-making with accurate, real-time information. At Pilot Company as an FP & A Graduate Intern, I provided pricing and volume analysis for midstream and alternative fuels units, supporting executive decisions on margin optimization and cost planning. I was contributor in the ERP migration from Lawson to FSM, ensuring clean, validated data transfers. I created a daily profit report that reshaped monthly forecasting, and delivered a capex depreciation analysis that improved long-term EV infrastructure planning. While at Paychex, I developed Power BI reports and Excel models that flagged cost trends before they impacted the bottom line. I partnered with leaders across finance and operations to enhance cash flow visibility, reconciled complex payroll and PEO system data with 100% accuracy, and surfaced over $250K in potential annual margin improvements. Earlier roles at Triad Financial Services, PepsiCo, and LabCorp sharpened my expertise in period-end close, AR reduction strategies, process automation, and compliance. I’ve consistently delivered measurable results, from reducing AR aging by double digits to cutting reconciliation time by nearly a third. Currently, I’m pursuing my Master of Quantitative Management in Business Analytics at Duke University, further expanding my ability to apply predictive modeling, statistical analysis, and data visualization to real-world business challenges. My passion lies in helping organizations connect the dots between data and decision-making, ensuring financial strategy is not just informed but empowered by analytics.
