ABOUT

Hello! I'm Ephraim Adjei, a finance professional based in Ottawa, Canada, and a CFA Level III candidate. Over the past several years I've led credit analysis, corporate finance, valuations, and due diligence across banking, energy, and public-sector research — spanning Ghana, the UK, and Canada.

At Access Bank in Ghana I modelled multi-scenario DCFs to value USD 50M+ in private assets and supported USD 150M+ in international trade finance and M&A, authoring the pitch decks and credit analysis behind an 80% deal-approval rate in FY2024. As a Quantitative Economic Research Assistant at the University of Ottawa, I built the quantitative models — refactored in Excel and Power Query — that informed debt-structure recommendations for public projects.

My goal is to make an impact on human living experiences through public and international finance policy — bridging finance and policy to craft strategies that drive growth, compliance, and sustainable impact. I'm currently preparing for CFA Level III as I move deeper into equity and investment analysis.
