At Cognizant, I lead a team handling lease accounting, GL reconciliations, accruals, and month-end and mid-month closures. I review reconciliations and journal entries, and guide the team in resolving open variances.

I also oversee lease setups, landlord changes, rent calculations, and related reconciliations. I ensure approved reconciliations are uploaded to OneStream in line with control requirements and support adherence to SOX controls.

At Optum Global Solutions, I worked in intercompany accounting, reconciling transactions between entities and preparing comparative financial statements and reports. I also prepared elimination entries and contributed to month-end and year-end close processes.

At Genpact India, I worked across general ledger, accounts receivable, and treasury processes for GSK and Dentsply. I reduced manual errors by implementing automated tools for journal entries, improving accuracy by 30%.
