What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in valuation-focused finance—equity research, investment banking, credit, or PE/VC—where I can apply 3-statement modeling, DCF/LBO, and risk analysis to produce decision-ready insights, with strong mentoring and growth.

I’m a CFA Level III candidate (CFA Level I cleared Nov 2024; Level II cleared May 2026) and an FMVA-certified finance professional. I bring strong quantitative rigor across financial statement analysis, 3-statement modeling, DCFvaluation, LBO, and relative/comps analysis.

I’ve built end-to-end valuation models for listed Indian companies from scratch, including risk analysis using Monte Carlo simulation and Historical Simulation VaR. In each project, I focus on translating operating and market assumptions into clear valuation outputs and stress-tested investment conclusions.

Professionally, I’ve applied these skills alongside real-world finance work as an Audit Associate, where I analyzed P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow for FMCG and NBFC clients, and improved reporting accuracy through structured audit reviews. I’m now seeking Equity Research, Investment Banking, Credit Analysis, or PE/VC roles where modeling depth and analytical discipline make an immediate impact.
