I drive accurate GL close, reconciliations, and financial reporting across complex global accounting operations.

Message

I'm currently supporting GL Controllership and Record-to-Report at Synchrony International, managing parent/subsidiary, intercompany, direct payment, suspense, and buyback accounts.

I execute month-end close activities, prepare and validate journal entries, reconcile high-volume balance sheet accounts, and investigate variances to resolve accounting discrepancies. I also work across Treasury, AP/AR, Operations, and overseas teams to address payment settlements and client fund issues.

Previously at Synchrony, I handled asset and liability reconciliations, corrective and reclassification entries, US close coordination, and process SOPs. I also stepped into operational leadership during managerial absences and mentored new team members on GL/R2R workflows.

My earlier accounting experience at Mahesh D. Sathe & Associates, Accenture, and MM Dresses includes audit support, AP/AR, bank reconciliations, statutory reporting, GST/TDS reporting, payment processing, and budget-to-actual variance analysis.
