Sandip Samantaray

I am a finance professional with 17+ years of experience in end-to-end accounting and finance operations, financial control, reporting, and statutory compliance, with a strong focus on financial accuracy, internal controls, cash flow management, and operational efficiency.

Currently, at Ankit Sajwan Ministries Trust, I oversee daily finance operations, leading a remote team of 20 across accounts payable, vendor payments, banking, cash flow, procurement, and compliance documentation. I focus on maintaining financial discipline, strengthening controls, and ensuring timely and accurate financial transactions.

Previously, at Anshuman Gupta & Co., I advised trusts and startups on end-to-end accounting, internal audits, financial reporting, and budgeting, reducing operational costs by 20% and internal audit findings by 30%. At Stewart Group of Schools, I managed comprehensive accounting and finance functions, including accounts payable, revenue cycle management, general ledger, reconciliations, banking relationships, and board-level financial reporting. Through process improvements and financial oversight, I reduced reconciliation errors by 25% and contributed to revenue growth.

My expertise spans financial controllership, end-to-end accounting, budgeting and forecasting, general ledger management, financial analysis, cash flow and working capital management, audit coordination, risk management, and internal controls. I have also led ERP implementation from customization and testing through user training, while automating accounting processes and strengthening statutory compliance.

I bring a hands-on, control-oriented approach to finance, combining operational ownership with analytical insight to ensure reliable financial reporting, effective resource allocation, strong governance, and informed business decisions.
