What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Finance & Accounts role where I can own US AR/AP reporting and reconciliation, deliver audit-ready documentation, and drive SLA and process improvements—while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to strengthen financial accuracy.

I’m a Senior Analyst in Finance & Accounts with 9+ years of experience across US and Indian accounting. I specialize in financial reporting, AR/AP reconciliation, budgeting, cash flow support, and audit compliance—built on accuracy, ownership, and continuous process improvement.

At Conduent, I lead monthly intercompany AR and AP aging analysis, reconcile discrepancies across business units, and ensure compliance with US GAAP. I prepare and review quarterly consolidated AR/AP reports, manage intercompany invoice processing and audits, oversee cash applications and clearing, and reduced reporting delays by 20% through SLA performance reporting.

Previously at Accurate Financial Management Services, I led end-to-end bookkeeping for US-based clients, including month-end close and financial reporting. I delivered budget vs actual variance reports, managed bi-weekly payroll processing, supported year-end audit documentation, and implemented process improvements that reduced reconciliation issues by 15%.

I’ve also strengthened my foundation through roles handling payables/receivables, vendor invoice processing, MIS reporting, payroll with statutory deductions, and audit support across multiple entities. I’m proud of my track record driving two process transitions with zero downtime and cross-training across three intercompany processes in 6 months, using tools like SAP, Sage Intacct, Tally ERP, Power BI, and MS Excel.
