Aarthi Sewparsad
@aarthisewparsad
I turn financial data into accurate reporting, dashboards, and decision-ready insights.
What I'm looking for
I've spent more than 15 years analysing, validating, and reconciling financial and operational data for organisations including Coastlands Hotel, Flowcrete SA, DRGEM Africa Corporation, and Felix Electrical. At Coastlands Hotel, I managed financial data across five businesses, supporting month-end reporting and executive decision-making.
I build reliable reporting through advanced Excel, Pivot Tables, dashboards, data validation, reconciliation, and trend analysis. I've maintained 100% accuracy in reconciliations, investigated system discrepancies, processed high-volume supplier transactions, and automated dashboard reporting to reduce manual work.
