What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values compliance, offers growth opportunities, and fosters a collaborative culture.

I am a results-driven Financial Accounting and Tax Professional with over 10 years of international experience in both India and U.S. firms. My expertise lies in U.S. Taxation, Accounts Payables, GL Accounting, and Financial Reporting. I have a strong analytical mindset and a proven track record in compliance and process efficiency, which I have honed through my roles in various organizations.

At Crowe LLP, I prepared and reviewed complex U.S. federal and multi-state tax returns, ensuring full compliance with IRS and state regulations. My role involved conducting tax provision work and advising on tax law changes, which significantly impacted compliance and tax positions. I have also led teams in managing high volumes of invoices at Wipro Limited, where I implemented process improvements that enhanced operational efficiency and accuracy.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in tools such as SAP, QuickBooks, and Oracle NetSuite, and I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, currently preparing for my Enrolled Agent (EA) certification. I believe in leveraging my skills to drive strategic decision-making and contribute positively to organizational goals.
