Lavanya Amin

I’m a goal-oriented accounting and finance professional with extensive managerial experience in the freight forwarding domain. I specialize in accountancy, financial management, financial audit support, and administrative and human resources functions—always focused on improving visibility, compliance, and profitability.

Since Jan 2024, I’ve worked at DP World (formerly Continental Warehousing Corporation) as an Assistant Manager - Accounts within a Global Shared Service Centre. I monitor customer ageing, provide regular updates to top management, and drive collection through structured follow-ups across visits, emails, and phone calls. I reconcile customer ledgers with finance teams and build collection, analysis, verification, and reporting systems to reduce bad debts, improve credit control effectiveness, and support sales with accurate details.

I also lead MIS reporting and month-end execution by monitoring estimates and payables to determine job profitability, reviewing transactions to resolve discrepancies, and reconciling major bank and balance sheet accounts monthly. I prepare and support tax instalments and GST remittances within timelines, validate and approve cash payments, and manage monthly book closures while presenting final MIS to senior management. I analyze variances, highlight risks, and recommend process improvements to strengthen financial controls and reporting accuracy.

Earlier, I held roles including Senior Branch Accountant and Senior Executive Finance across Mumbai, and Executive Finance at LCL Logistics Pvt. Ltd. I managed fund flow monitoring, inter-branch and inter-company reconciliations, vendor payments, statutory compliance, payroll support, petty cash, and daily accounting operations such as profit and loss accounts and cash flow statements, using systems including Tally. I bring strong leadership, attention to detail, and a continuous-improvement mindset to every accounting process I own.
