I've led Record-to-Report and General Ledger operations at Cargill Business Services India, Tesco Bengaluru, Tata Consultancy Services, Quintiles Research India, and Brady Company India.

At Cargill, I led month-end close, accruals, deferred revenue, revenue recognition, lease accounting, intercompany reconciliations, P&L variance analysis, and balance sheet reviews in BlackLine. I also supported statutory and internal audits while mentoring associates and maintaining cross-training plans.

Across 13+ years in multinational shared-services environments, I've managed teams and delivered compliant financial reporting under US GAAP, IFRS, SOX, and internal-control requirements.
