What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles at the intersection of finance, governance, compliance, and social development—where I can lead GST/tax audits, strengthen reporting, and turn rigorous financial analysis into measurable programme impact.

I’m a CMA Finalist with 4+ years spanning audit, GST & income tax compliance, financial analysis, and NGO financial governance. I currently serve as GST Department Head at a CA firm, managing bank audits, tax audits, notice replies, and client advisory.

I bring hands-on depth in end-to-end GST compliance—return filing, reconciliation (GSTR 2A/2B), audit support, and amendment research—along with Income Tax and TDS compliance from computation through returns and Form 16/16A issuance. I also lead department workflow and mentor juniors while handling concurrent assignments for 100+ clients.

Alongside that, I co-founded and lead finance and operations at Better Hope NGO, overseeing Rs 1 crore+ in multi-project budgets across education, healthcare, and livelihood. I manage 12A/80G/CSR compliance, international donor partnerships, and impact measurement—selected as a youth representative for the UN Foundation’s ‘Our Common Agenda’ report and trained through LedBy Accelerator (Harvard-incubated).
