With over eight years of versatile experience in Accounting, Taxation, Audit, and Financial Analysis, I have honed my skills across diverse industries. My expertise lies in statutory compliance, international taxation, governance, and financial data reporting and analysis. I am proficient in Advanced Excel, SAP FI, and information systems, which has enabled me to drive financial excellence and operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for creating efficient templates that reduced reporting time by 50% and for my role in the SAP S/4 HANA rollout project, where I became a trusted resource for the project team. My accomplishments include cleaning up over 200 SLA legacy records, significantly boosting data accuracy, and successfully closing a long-pending Service Tax Assessment, ensuring regulatory compliance and mitigating financial risk.
