What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead FP&A/controllership, drive process transformation, partner with leadership, and deliver margin and efficiency improvements.

I am a Chartered Accountant (India), CPA (Aust.) and Certified IFRS professional with ~20 years' hands-on experience in finance and accounts, controllership, FP&A and Record-to-Report across India, UK and remote global setups. I have led month-end close, financial statement preparation under IFRS/GAAP, budgeting, forecasting and strategic decision support while driving process automation, standardization and cost-optimization for shared services and enterprise teams.

I have a track record of partnering with C-suite and business stakeholders to deliver actionable insights, improve cash flow and margins, and implement transformation initiatives (RPA, reconciliation automation, SOPs) that reduced close times and FTE needs. I am results-driven, with strong governance focus (SOX, internal controls) and experience building high-performing finance teams and robust reporting frameworks.
