What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic organization that values financial integrity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Chartered Accountant with a strong foundation in financial analysis and compliance. My professional journey began with my role as an Article Assistant at SNK & Co, where I led tax audits for over 50 clients across various sectors, including real estate and FMCG. This experience honed my skills in tax compliance, litigation support, and statutory audits, allowing me to navigate complex regulatory environments effectively.

Currently, I serve as a Deputy Manager at Cipla Ltd, where I conduct in-depth cost analysis to support strategic pricing and operational efficiency. My collaborative approach with cross-functional teams has driven profitability and supported long-term financial planning. I take pride in my ability to analyze cost variances and assist in the annual budgeting process, ensuring that financial strategies align with organizational goals.
