Shrikant Mude

I’m a Chartered Accountant focused on turning financial data into clear business decisions. I bring hands-on experience across Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), financial reporting, budgeting & forecasting, variance analysis, and management reporting.

In my current role as an Associate Finance Manager, I prepare annual budgets and monthly forecasts, compare actuals to budget, investigate major variances, and recommend corrective actions to strengthen cost control. I also own month-end close execution, improve financial controls, and ensure statutory and regulatory compliance while working closely with cross-functional stakeholders.

My work includes detailed reporting and audit readiness—consolidating ledger data for monthly, quarterly, and annual reports, resolving discrepancies, and supporting auditors in clearing observations. I’ve led team execution during month-end close, mentoring finance professionals and ensuring reconciliations and journal entries are completed within deadlines with minimal review comments.

Previously at PwC AC and earlier as an article assistant, I planned and performed statutory audit procedures across statutory audits, payroll, revenue, investments, fixed assets, loans & advances, and statutory dues. I’ve also handled GST and tax audits, TDS reconciliations, bank audits, and audit program development for clients across multiple sectors, and I bring that rigorous audit mindset into finance operations.
