What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values strategic input, and embraces innovation.

I am a Chartered Accountant with a strong foundation in accounting, finance, and business development. My journey began with a Bachelor of Commerce from Gujarat University, followed by my qualification as a CA from ICAI in May 2019. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various accounting software and have gained extensive experience in financial reporting, tax compliance, and strategic consulting.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Associate at Caramel Advisors, where I prepare journal entries, conduct reconciliations, and ensure compliance with internal controls. My previous roles include working as a Senior Accountant for GIRI Hotels USA, where I managed financial reporting for multiple hotels, and as an Independent Consultant for various CPA firms in the USA, providing tax and financial consulting services. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to organizations on both national and international platforms.
