What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an FP&A/business finance role where I partner with CFOs on AOP and rolling forecasts, support capex/opex decisions, and deliver actionable insights for cost optimization and data-driven leadership decisions.

I’m a finance professional with 9+ years of experience across FP&A, Commercial Finance, and Project Accounting in Mining, Power, Telecom, and Services. I focus on budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and capital investment analysis, partnering closely with CFOs and senior leadership to enable data-driven decisions.

In my current role as Financial Analyst – FP&A & Commercial, I partner with the CFO on AOP, rolling forecasts, BU-wise P&L finalization, and cash flow planning. I also manage and supervise a team of Business Controllers and Site Cost Accountants, ensuring accurate reporting, strong cost control, and timely, actionable financial insights.

Across my prior experiences, I’ve led variance analysis (actuals vs. budget/forecast), performed ad-hoc pricing and cost-optimization studies, and supported capital investment decisions. I’ve handled project costing, budgeting (Capital, Zero-Based, Forecasting), and AOP/Cost-to-Completion, along with reconciliation work and audit coordination.

I’m especially strong in building decision-ready models—developing NPV, IRR, and Payback frameworks for capital and strategic decisions. My background is reinforced by an MBA in Finance and securing CMA/ICWA (AIR-49), and I bring a disciplined, collaborative approach to finance operations, reporting integrity, and continuous improvement.
