Chirag Jethwani

I’m a finance professional with ACCA (12/13 papers cleared) and a strong foundation in valuation, financial modeling, investment research, and financial statement analysis. I apply IFRS-based reporting principles to connect reporting quality with valuation outcomes.

I’ve developed DCF-based valuation models and built sector and macroeconomic analysis to stress-test assumptions. My work includes independent valuation of the Nifty 50 Index using Dividends and Buybacks as FCFE proxies, adapting Damodaran’s implied ERP approach to Indian capital markets.

In my self-initiated Nifty 50 project, I analyzed long-term dividend and buyback behavior, used the India 10-Year G-Sec yield (as the risk-free rate), and reverse-engineered the implied ERP to support a fair value view. I also performed sector-wise analysis across 13 industries and considered macro headwinds such as FII outflows, rupee weakness, and geopolitical risk.

Through my Finance & Tax Internship at Furtados Music Ltd., I strengthened compliance discipline by assisting with GST and Income Tax return preparation and ensuring statutory deadlines were met. I also reconciled accounts using Excel and accounting software, refining data accuracy while deepening my understanding of direct and indirect tax compliance frameworks.
