Renita Fernandes
@renitafernandes
Result-driven senior finance professional optimizing month-end closes, payroll, and accounts payable with zero-escalation compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a result-driven finance professional with 10+ years of expertise optimizing month-end closes, streamlining payroll, and managing accounts payable—while maintaining an impeccable, zero-escalation track record in statutory compliance.
Most recently, as a Finance Analyst at Novigo Solutions, I managed weekly accounts payable payments with 100% on-time invoice payment, and generated cash outflow reporting to support AR. I also supported timely payroll processing for 500+ employees by delivering detailed performance-based bonus and variable pay reports, reducing payroll discrepancies through eligibility cross-checks.
I’ve strengthened compliance and accuracy end-to-end by ensuring timely PF, TDS, GST, ESI, PT, and Labour Welfare Returns, including annual GST refund processing. I’m also hands-on with mentoring—training and mentoring junior analysts—and previously drove end-to-end accounting, month-end closures, travel settlements, and annual audits as a Senior Finance Executive.
