What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in financial management.

As a Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary with over 5 years of experience, I have honed my skills in bookkeeping, audit, and tax filings. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence in financial reporting and system implementation, particularly in managing US bookkeeping through QuickBooks. I take pride in my ability to finalize financial statements, ensuring compliance with accounting standards while optimizing operational processes.

In my recent role as Chief Accountant at Generative AL Trading CO. LLC, I led a comprehensive overhaul of disorganized accounts, establishing accurate financial records and streamlining operations. My experience extends to managing end-to-end tax compliance, including GST and TDS, where I have successfully resolved discrepancies and ensured timely filings. I thrive in environments that challenge my analytical skills and allow me to contribute to strategic decision-making through insightful financial reporting.

My educational background as a Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary, combined with practical experience in diverse sectors, equips me with a unique perspective on financial management. I am passionate about fostering strong client relationships and enhancing profitability through effective financial processes. I am eager to leverage my expertise in a dynamic organization that values innovation and growth.
