Ramesh Kona

I’m a Finance & Taxation professional with 17+ years of experience in automobile dealership accounting, GST compliance, and financial operations management. I specialize in end-to-end accounting for vehicle sales, spare parts, service operations, and dealership transactions.

I bring deep expertise in GST compliance for automobile dealerships—handling vehicle sales invoicing, input tax credit reconciliation, and dealer taxation—along with strong knowledge of automotive retail accounting, inventory accounting, and revenue recognition. I also manage high-volume B2C flows across vehicle sales, workshop billing, accessories, and customer payments, while strengthening receivables, incentives, warranty settlements, and working capital.

For statutory and audit readiness, I’m experienced in GST filings (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9, GSTR-9C), GST reconciliations, and GST audits for dealership operations. I coordinate internal, statutory, and GST audits, resolve observations, and manage Income Tax and TDS compliances, including handling assessments, notices, and litigation while keeping up with evolving regulations.

I lead finance teams and drive process excellence across multi-branch operations, implementing internal controls and standardized SOPs to reduce financial risk. I use ERP/DMS tools (SAP, Tally, Oracle), advanced Excel, and automation approaches with Power BI and RPA to improve reporting efficiency, margin analysis, budgeting/forecasting, and dealership KPI visibility.
