What I'm looking for

I am looking for a tax/accounting role where I can lead compliance and reconciliation efforts, improve processes, mentor junior staff, and contribute to accurate, timely financial reporting in a collaborative environment.

I am a results-driven financial accountant with deep expertise in corporate tax filings, withholding tax reconciliations, GST compliance, and multi-jurisdictional tax accounting. I have led initiatives that resolved approximately US$4 million in aged withholding tax discrepancies and reduced tax cash outflows through targeted write-offs and ledger clean-up.

I have scaled tax functions from a solo role to an eight-member team by delivering structured knowledge transfer, training, and process documentation, and I regularly coordinate cross-functionally with Treasury, IT, and operations to ensure timely payments and accurate filings. I am well-versed in US GAAP, local GAAP, SAP/D365 systems, and statutory filings across India, Indonesia, South Africa, Korea, the UK, and Germany.

I seek to bring disciplined tax accounting, audit-readiness, and process optimization to an organization that values accuracy, continuous improvement, and collaborative problem-solving.
