What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead strategic FP&A and financial decision support in a dynamic environment—owning budgeting, forecasting, modeling, and reporting—while driving measurable efficiency, cost optimization, and C-suite insights through strong process design and controls.

I’m a strategic, results-driven Chartered Accountant with 8+ years of experience in FP&A, audit, and business finance. As an IFRS-certified professional, I bring deep expertise in budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and decision support for executive leadership in dynamic, high-growth environments.

In my current role as Head – Financial Planning & Analysis, I lead end-to-end budgeting, rolling forecasts, variance analysis, month-end close, and MIS/dashboard design to improve reporting efficiency and forecast accuracy. Earlier, as an Audit Manager and executive finance professional, I delivered measurable outcomes—improving reporting efficiency by 20%, forecasting accuracy by 15%, reducing audit cycle time by 25%, and cutting manual effort by 30%—and I’ve supported SMEs and HNIs through end-to-end GST, direct tax compliance, and financial advisory with client tax savings of up to 12%.
