Pradnya Saindane

I’m a US Indirect Tax & Compliance Specialist with 5+ years of MNC experience delivering end-to-end Sales Tax, Use Tax, Lodging Tax, and multi-state indirect tax compliance for global client portfolios. I’m currently at Avalara India, working hands-on with Avalara’s tax engine and transaction-level data analysis.

My core strength is making complex indirect tax execution feel manageable: I handle economic nexus determination (post-Wayfair), multi-jurisdiction registration management, and tax engine configuration, while responding to tax authority notices with audit-ready support. I’ve managed 30+ jurisdictions and supported audits with zero findings.

I’m also an analytics-and-automation focused operator. Using SQL (AvaTax data querying) and Advanced Excel automation, I extract compliance insights, validate filing accuracy, identify discrepancies, and generate KPI reports—then use those findings to improve the process itself.

Outside pure compliance, I’ve built strong finance fundamentals through Oracle ERP experience, month-end reconciliations, and AP/AR compliance operations. Earlier, I drove a 90% reduction in unclaimed funds through process standardization and cross-system reconciliation improvements, and I bring that same rigor to every compliance workflow.
