Manisha Samal
@manishasamal
Tax Consultant and financial accounting professional improving compliance, AR/AP, and reporting accuracy.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Finance & Accounting professional with 4+ years of progressive experience across Tax Consulting, Audit, and Financial Analysis. I focus on accuracy-first execution in “Record-to-Report (R2R) processes,” bringing clarity to financial reporting through strong reconciliation and control of data quality and integrity.
In my current role as a Tax Consultant, I manage end-to-end statutory registrations (MSME, FSSAI, Trade License, EPF, ESIC, GST, ITR) and execute GST/ITR filing with validated data to support month-end and year-end close. I also administer employee tax deductions and Form 16 verification, strengthening Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable accuracy and payroll compliance.
Previously as an Audit Assistant, I supported statutory audits (stock audits, concurrent audits, and compliance reviews) and verified journal entries and transaction accuracy in Tally ERP. I’ve also streamlined debtor/creditor reconciliation to reduce turnaround time by ~20%, and I’m actively upskilling in SAP S/4HANA and Power BI to deliver MNC-grade process excellence across R2R, AR/AP, and financial analytics.
