IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Engagement Manager with 10+ years of experience across financial reporting, audit management, and client engagement in both consulting and corporate finance environments. I was promoted from Senior Associate within 2 years for leadership excellence and full client engagement ownership.
In my current role, I independently manage end-to-end engagements across accounting, financial reporting, and audit coordination for 8+ active client accounts, acting as the primary point of contact for clients, auditors, and internal teams. I prepare standalone and consolidated financial statements aligned with Ind-AS, supervise and mentor a team of 3–5 associates, and I’ve automated reporting with Advanced Excel, Power Query, and Power BI—reducing the monthly reporting cycle time by approximately 60% while leveraging SAP to deliver under tight regulatory deadlines.
