Chartered Accountant and finance automation leader improving reporting, close, and KPI visibility.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Chartered Accountant with 8+ years of progressive experience across enterprise finance operations, reporting, automation, and controllership. My career spans Big 4 global delivery, NBFC, and accounting, where I’ve focused on turning complex finance work into reliable, faster outcomes.
As Assistant Manager - Accounting Compliance & Reporting, I led financial operations for a 50-member enterprise accounting and reporting team, supporting multi-industry portfolios. I accelerated month-end close by 2 days through automation, workflow redesign, and control enhancements, and I drove AI-enabled automation initiatives using Power Platform, OCR, Power Query, and MS Copilot—delivering a 60% effort reduction across recurring processes.
I’m especially proud of measurable improvements in financial accuracy and reporting integrity (80%) and of building tools that make governance and decision-making easier. I’ve designed IFRS assessment frameworks (including investment ledger migration and restatement methodologies), created dynamic MIS dashboards and financial models, and earned recognition for operational excellence, strategic insights, and cross-functional leadership.
