What I'm looking for

I am seeking a mid-level finance or payroll role where I can own end-to-end payroll operations, drive compliance, improve processes, and support audit-ready financial reporting.

I am a results-oriented Payroll & Finance professional with five years managing high-volume global payroll operations for 2,500+ employees across APAC and EMEA. I specialize in end-to-end payroll processing, statutory compliance (PF, ESIC, PT, TDS, KiwiSaver), SAP SuccessFactors, SAP FICO and Power BI to ensure audit readiness and process accuracy.

In my roles I have owned payroll and financial ecosystems for India and UK entities, led GST and BAS reporting, performed ledger reconciliations and supported tax and statutory audits. I consistently drive process improvements, resolve payroll discrepancies, and deliver timely, compliant payroll and financial reporting.
