What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a full-time remote finance leadership opportunity with global teams, where I can strengthen controls, reporting, compliance, and finance operations across US, UK, or GCC time-zone overlap.

I've built finance controls, reporting, and compliance operations for Mars Inc.'s Royal Canin India, infrastructure businesses, startups, and hedge fund clients.

At Royal Canin India, I delivered 100% internal audit compliance with zero control gaps in my first year and established financial controls for a newly commissioned manufacturing facility. I also owned payroll budgets, statutory filings, and Workday-payroll integration initiatives.

At Touchstone Teleservices, I led R2R, O2C, and P2P operations, reduced logistics costs by 20%, and compressed debtor ageing from 60 to 45 days. I also managed GST, TCS, TDS, e-way bill, and e-invoicing compliance with zero defaults.

I'm a Chartered Accountant and MBA in Financial Services, equipped for remote collaboration across US, UK, and GCC time zones. I bring hands-on financial control, IFRS-aligned reporting, working-capital management, and multi-geography compliance experience.
