@daminipatel
Supply Chain Finance Analyst specializing in FP&A, budgeting, and variance analysis.
What I'm looking for
I’m a “Resourceful Associate Manager” and Supply Chain Finance Analyst (FP&A)(SCF) with 11+ years of experience, known for productivity and efficient task execution. I specialize in teamwork, operational management, and strategic planning, and I consistently bring strong communication, problem-solving, and adaptability to align teams with organizational goals.
At PepsiCo Global Business Services India LLP (Dept.: SCF), I manage the analysis and reporting of manufacturing P&L lines, performing variance analysis against the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) and prior periods. I also run month-end close and forecasting activities, and I develop and execute the AOP for the Balkans plants with system uploads and validation of financial assumptions using tools including SAP, Alteryx, TM1 (Mosaic), and Cockpit.
Previously at Genpact (Client: Mondelez International, DACH), I developed and implemented budgets for Co-Packing Business and Austria Shipping lines (Freight Cost). I earned major recognition, including a People’s Choice Award at PepsiCo in 10 months and a Silver Award for outstanding performance, and I hold a Six Sigma Green Belt certification.
I’ve built my impact through automation, disciplined controls, and clear business insights—such as WHT computation, inflow/outflow statements for fund control, and resolving accounts receivable discrepancies (₹25 lakhs recovered in October 2016). Earlier roles strengthened my foundation in long-range budgeting, forecasting support, tax reconciliations, and audit readiness, supported by my commitment to efficient execution and reliable reporting.
