IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance and accounting professional with 11+ years of experience across Record-to-Report (R2R), General Ledger, and financial close in large-scale shared services environments. I’ve consistently delivered measurable outcomes, including an 80% reduction in balance sheet open items (count) and a 94% reduction by value through Six Sigma.

As a certified Training Facilitator, I’ve onboarded and upskilled 100+ accounting professionals, while strengthening Common Minimum Controls (CMCs), FMEAs, and BCP planning—backed by hands-on tools expertise in SAP, Yardi Voyager, and Agresso.
