What I'm looking for

I seek a senior FP&A/finance role where I can lead budgeting, forecasting, and transformation initiatives in a collaborative, data-driven environment.

I am a results-oriented finance leader with 19+ years of progressive experience across FP&A, management accounting, controllership, and consulting roles. I translate financial data into strategic insights that help leadership make informed decisions.

I have led budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis initiatives that reduced forecast variance by ~10% and implemented zero-based budgeting to cut operating expenditures by 12%. I streamlined month-end close and audit processes, reducing close timelines by up to 40% and delivering annual audit cost savings of INR 10–15 lakhs.

My technical strengths include deep exposure to US GAAP, Ind AS, IFRS, and multiple ERP systems such as QuickBooks, PeopleSoft, Tally, and SAP. I leverage tools like advanced Excel, Tableau, and Power BI to improve reporting accuracy and drive actionable performance insights.

I partner effectively with cross-functional stakeholders and have led process redesigns, procurement spend analysis, and forecasting for IT services that improved operational efficiency by 15%. I seek opportunities to lead finance transformation, enhance controls, and deliver measurable cost and performance improvements.
