Suraj Deuja
@surajdeuja1
I lead IFRS reporting, finance transformation, and cross-border operations for multinational and high-growth businesses.
What I'm looking for
I've led finance reporting, governance, and transformation work at Ncell Axiata, Daraz/Alibaba Group, Hexamatics, and Foodmandu. At Ncell, I led IFRS reporting and internal controls for a $200M+ revenue telecom operator, rebuilt IFRS 16 accounting across 4,500+ leased assets, and supported buy-side due diligence for ISP acquisitions.
I've built regional shared-services functions across 10 Asia-Pacific jurisdictions, launched Nepal's first mass-scale online payment gateway with Ant Finance, and guided financial governance around Foodmandu's US$4M Series C funding. As an ACCA-qualified finance executive, I combine technical accounting, financial systems design, and cross-border operating discipline to protect balance sheets and support growth.
