What I'm looking for

I’m seeking roles in equity research, financial analysis, fraud/AML compliance, investment banking, or corporate finance—where I can build DCF models, perform fundamental research, and support risk and regulatory decisions.

I’m a results-driven Finance Analyst with a PGDM in Quantitative Finance, bringing hands-on expertise in financial modelling, equity research, fraud analysis, AML compliance, and investment analysis.

Currently, I work as a Retail Accountant at CountHQ, where I manage accounting operations, financial reporting, reconciliations, and use Advanced Excel and data tools to produce accurate management reports. I can build DCF models, perform fundamental analysis, and deliver risk and regulatory assessments that support better decisions.

As a Financial Analyst Intern at ConsultUp India, I developed DCF-based valuation models with multi-scenario sensitivity analysis and created investor-ready valuation reports for early-stage startups. I also author equity research and conduct banking-sector risk analysis, using my training and certifications—including NISM Series XV and VIII, EY CAFTA, and CFA Investment Foundations—to combine analytical rigor with regulatory awareness.
