What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to lead financial strategies.

I am a result-driven finance professional with over 10 years of comprehensive experience in accounting, financial management, internal audits, taxation, and compliance. My proven track record in financial problem-solving and advisory services has contributed to significant business growth strategies. I successfully led the JDE/Oracle implementation for accounting and taxation, coordinated global and local audits, and managed cross-functional teams across multiple time zones.

My expertise includes preparing and consolidating financial statements under US GAAP, IFRS, German, and Indian GAAP, with extensive exposure to taxation in India, the US, and Germany. I have a strong background in financial management, accounting, process optimization, audit and risk management, and treasury management. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to fostering a culture of transparency and accountability within teams.
