What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance controllership role where I can lead budgeting, taxation compliance, audits, and SOP-driven controls, collaborate with legal/audit partners, and drive data-integrity and process improvements across multi-entity businesses.

I’m a finance professional with ~11 years of comprehensive experience across Financial Planning & Budgeting, Taxation, Audit, Accounting, Payroll, and Financial Controllership. I’ve worked across IT, Pharmaceuticals, Retail, and Manufacturing, bringing strong ownership of compliance, accuracy, and reliable reporting through disciplined processes.

As an Assistant Manager – Corporate Services & International Expansion at Vistra Corporate Services (India) Pvt. Ltd., I lead monthly/annual budgeting, MIS reporting, fund forecasting, AP/AR management, portfolio management, and due diligence for diverse corporate clients and their branches. I also manage end-to-end taxation compliance (GST, Corporate Income Tax, TDS, FLA, Non-STPI, ESOP/OPI Compliances, PF, ESIC, NPS, ROC), finalize transfer pricing documentation and service agreements, and support statutory audits, tax audits, and transfer pricing certifications with Big 4 firms.

Before that, as a Senior Group Finance Manager at Reach52 Private Limited (Singapore HQ), I supported VP-level budgeting, scenario planning, and performance monitoring across Singapore, UK, and Indian entities. I directed group consolidation of financial statements (SG/UK/India), handled AP/AR, funds and bank finance, and ensured monthly payroll processing and statutory compliance—while also contributing to policy and SOP development to strengthen financial and data integrity.

Earlier in my career at K.S. Jagirdar & Co. (Chartered Accountants), I led statutory audits, tax audits, and internal audits, handled judicial scrutiny across direct and indirect taxes, and conducted special assignments including Forensic Fraud Investigation pertaining to Payroll Audits. I focus on risk assessment, SOP & process controls, and data integrity—delivering assignments within strict timelines while partnering effectively with stakeholders, auditors, and legal counsel.
