What I'm looking for
I am a finance professional with an MSc in Corporate Finance from the University of Surrey and a Bachelor of Commerce from Stella Maris College. I combine formal finance training with practical experience in accounting operations and process improvement.

Earlier at Standard Chartered GBS I managed end-to-end purchase order lifecycles, processed 1,000+ monthly invoices worth approximately USD 1 million, conducted month-end HR cost reconciliations, and independently recovered duplicate payments totaling USD 10K.
