What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role in hospitality where I can apply payroll, AP and auditing expertise, work with modern F&B or hotel systems, contribute to process improvements and grow into broader finance leadership.

I am a results-oriented finance professional with over 10 years of experience within luxury and full-service hotels and multi-outlet restaurant brands. I have built deep expertise in payroll management, accounts payable, auditing and daily cash operations across Indian and UAE markets.

In my recent role as Finance Supervisor I handled bank reconciliations, foreign payments, payroll processing, month-end closing and VAT support while leading finance briefings and covering for the Finance Manager when required. I have participated in multiple system implementations including Oasys payroll, OPERA Cloud upgrade and migration from MICROS to Infrasys Shiji.

My career includes roles such as General Cashier, Paymaster, Day Auditor and Accounts Executive across properties like DoubleTree by Hilton, Fairmont Fujairah and IBIS Kolkata, where I contributed to pre-opening activities and operational finance controls. I have been recognized with several employee awards and a Train the Trainer certification.

I bring disciplined financial control, hands-on systems experience (OPERA PMS, MICROS, Infrasys Shiji, SAP, Tally, Sun System) and a collaborative approach to support operations, compliance and process improvements in hospitality finance teams.
