Swati Bhatli

I am a Chartered Accountant with over 10 years of experience in finance, corporate tax, and reporting, having worked at Uber, McKinsey & Company, and EY. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed solving complex problems, improving processes, and building scalable solutions that make finance teams more efficient.

At Uber, I led APAC corporate tax reporting across 50+ entities and built a centralized global tax dashboard that improved visibility, consistency, and audit readiness. I also led the automation of IFRS 16 reporting across more than 200 entities, significantly reducing manual effort and improving efficiency. At McKinsey, I worked on statutory reporting, cross-border tax, and finance support for new office setups across APAC and Europe, partnering with business leaders to solve complex regulatory and operational challenges.

What I enjoy most is building better ways of working. Whether it is automating a manual process, designing a reporting framework, or translating complex financial information into clear business insights, I like work that creates lasting impact rather than simply completing routine tasks.

I am particularly interested in startups and technology-driven companies where finance is viewed as a strategic partner rather than just a support function. The opportunity to work closely with founders, product, and engineering teams to build scalable finance operations, improve decision-making, and contribute to business growth is what excites me most.

Outside of work, I enjoy learning about artificial intelligence and how it can transform finance. I am especially interested in how automation and intelligent systems can simplify accounting, reporting, and compliance, allowing finance teams to focus more on strategy and creating business value.
