Yemi Orogbemi​
Founder & CEO
Seventeen years of finance experience: senior accountant, financial planner, financial analyst, finance manager, sales controller, Python expert, and data scientist.
I've worked alongside finance teams and witnessed many failed IT reporting projects, which inspired me, seventeen years ago, to begin automating finance reports, including building four in-house applications for Macy's and Coach. I then joined an IT reporting project to understand their challenges, and it was clear that most data engineers lack the financial knowledge vital to creating useful reports. It's like asking an English-only speaker to write in Spanish. Furthermore, expensive self-service solutions are rarely utilized because information consumers want to be served like any other consumer.
​
I created Nemo to solve these problems. I speak visualization, finance, and IT, which are necessary to develop a low-cost solution to deliver real-time financial data. A solution I'm committed to ensuring exceeds all expectations and delivers accurate information to support corporate money managers.​
Why automation?​
Like a 2-year-old in a toy store, money, the lifeblood of organizations, tends to scatter around when you take your attention off it. Money is not static; it is an energy that requires constant motion and strong control.
With its many repetitive and standardized tasks, financial analysis is ideally suited for automation. The platform interacts with systems and applications involved in the process, mimics manual financial analysis 24/7, and sends alerts when potential cost overruns or risks are detected.​
​
Like an EKG machine, Nemo monitors the organization's financial performance so CEOs can focus on other priorities.
