Appandarajan Rajan
@appandarajanrajan
Experienced finance professional specializing in ERP, data reconciliation, and financial reporting.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a finance professional with over a decade of experience in accounts, reconciliation, ERP migrations and financial reporting. I combine strong accounting fundamentals with hands-on experience in large data handling and ETL processes.
I have supported multiple ERP implementations and migrations (BAAN, SAP, Oracle, Navision, Infotech) and led data validation, upload and reconciliation activities to ensure accurate financial close and reporting.
My work emphasizes automation and data quality: I have developed reports using MS Excel (Power Pivot, macros), coordinated Python automation efforts, and used tools like Cognos Planner and Hyperion to streamline budgeting, forecasting and MIS packs.
I am collaborative, detail-oriented and comfortable owning end-to-end finance processes — from AP/AR approvals and payroll payments to P&L, balance sheet reviews and management reporting.
