IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Cyient, I lead a finance team of 10 and provide accurate financial data, reconciliations, and reporting inputs for month-end close and forecasting. I forecast cash inflows and DSO trends, using variance analysis to inform working-capital planning and improve DSO by 15%.
I partnered with cross-functional finance teams on the financial integration of two acquisitions, standardizing reporting structures and supporting clean data flow into ERP. I also supported Record-to-Report activities, including journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and GL validations.
Earlier, at KPMG, I led a financial process transition during an organizational restructuring and redesigned AR workflows for a future-state operating model. Across my finance roles, I’ve worked on cash application and reporting automation, financial controls, and Order-to-Cash operations, and I’m transitioning into Financial Planning & Analysis.
