What I'm looking for

I’m looking for challenging finance and accounting opportunities where I can apply US GAAP/US accounting, deliver accurate closes and compliance, and keep improving my knowledge in fast, target-driven teams.

I am an ambitious, US CPA (Licensed) professional with 4 years of hands-on experience in US Accounting and over 10 years of Indian experience in Accounting, Finance, and taxation after becoming Chartered Accountant (CA). I bring adaptability, perseverance, and a consistent focus on agreed targets to deliver value in fast-paced environments.

I have worked as a Senior Accountant at Excelfront Bizcon Pvt. Ltd., where I lead a team of accounting staff to deliver accurate and timely monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial close and other reporting. I also support client-based work in the Healthcare sector for the New York City market.

In prior roles, I strengthened compliance and reporting through experience as a Finance Controller and earlier as an Associate Partner and Audit Manager. I handled tax risks and compliance (including FEMA, RBI, and GST), prepared financial statements as per IND-AS, and managed core accounting operations such as Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and revenue recognition.

I’m motivated by continuous improvement and I prove it through performance—passing all US CPA exams in the first attempt (along with office work and family commitments) and passing CA, CS & DISA in the first attempt. I work with integrity, confidentiality, and strong professional ethics while using tools and analytics to improve accuracy and decision-making.
