What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead audit and tax delivery, use SAP/Excel-driven forensic analytics to prevent fraud, and support cross-border and transfer-pricing compliance while partnering closely with audit committees.

I’m a CA Final Candidate with 6+ years in statutory and tax audits, month-end close, AP/AR, and financial reporting. My work spans GST, TDS, Income Tax, and ROC compliance, with cross-border experience in DTAA, 15CA/CB, FEMA, and Transfer Pricing (3CEB).

In my current role as a Senior Associate at PDM & Associates, I serve as a QA specialist for an MNC forensic accounting software product designed to detect process-level anomalies during monthly and interim review cycles. I cover P2P (vendor master through payment release), O2C (customer/order-to-invoice and collections), and R2R (journal entries, reconciliations, period-close, and financial reporting).

I analyze SAP transaction dumps in Excel to identify anomalies such as unregistered-vendor PO patterns, invoices without PO backing, duplicate payments, unapproved credit notes, and manual journals outside close periods. I also design fraud detection rules, benchmark tool outputs against manually identified anomalies, and set tolerance thresholds to reduce false positives without masking genuine risks.

I’m equally strong in execution: I independently managed statutory audits for 8–12 clients annually and delivered tax audits (Sec 44AB), GST reconciliations (including GSTR-2B vs purchase register), and TDS/TCS compliance (24Q/26Q/27Q). I also prepare transfer pricing documentation (3CEB) and support cross-border remittances through 15CA/CB under Section 195/DTAA, while maintaining actionable audit committee reporting through clear risk severity and defensible disclosure language.
