Yamini Sathpadi

I am a financial analyst with about 5 years of experience in financial analysis, budgeting, and forecasting. I currently work at Wells Fargo on a contract basis that started in June 2020. My day-to-day work involves conducting budgeting analysis every 3 weeks, where I review company P&L statements and create financial models in Excel. I develop dashboards for leadership and work closely with various teams, including engineering, to schedule meetings and ensure all data is accurate. My role requires me to analyze each statement in detail, not just by numbers, and provide outputs on what's happening in the company. I also work with Evolve models and am responsible for monitoring and guiding junior team members and new joiners, making sure they understand company standards and compliance requirements for US data. Before this role, I worked for 2 years in a similar financial analyst position, and prior to that I was with Cignity Technologies in India. I hold a Master's degree in Business Analytics with an accounting background from the University of North Texas in Denton, and I completed my Bachelor's degree in Finance from Acharya Institutions in Bangalore, India. My father, who comes from a different background, inspired me to pursue this path, and I've always been interested in accounting, analyzing company budgets, and reviewing financial statements like P&L and cash flow. I'm currently planning to pursue my CPA (Certified Public Accountant) license, which is the top licensing in the accounting and tax field, and I have mentors who are friends and roommates from my bachelor's and master's programs who have already obtained their CPA and are guiding me through the process.
