What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build on my asset and wealth management audit experience while deepening my capabilities in financial markets, valuation, and financial modelling.

At PwC AC India, I execute quarterly reviews and year-end audits for 25+ alternative investment funds across five AICPA and PCAOB engagements, including a fund of approximately USD 5 billion. I audit private equity, fund of funds, open- and closed-ended, master-feeder, master-aggregator, and blocker-entity structures.

I lead walkthroughs and client calls, review junior team members' work, and resolve audit matters with Controllers, Finance Directors, and fund administrators. I bring 5+ years of audit and assurance experience, including statutory and tax audits, and I’m building further capability in financial markets, valuation, and financial modelling.
