What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and challenges in financial analysis and reporting.

I am a finance professional with over four years of experience in the Finance & Accounts (F&A) function, specializing in General Ledger (GL) Accounting, Bank and Balance Sheet Reconciliations, and Financial Reporting. My hands-on experience is complemented by an MBA in Finance, which I am currently pursuing. I have a strong background in managing intercompany transactions and period-end closing processes, and I am adept at using accounting systems like Tally ERP and Tally Prime.

During my tenure as an Audit Manager at TPMG & Associates, I supervised a team and prepared comprehensive financial and audit reports. I successfully executed monthly reconciliations of intercompany balance sheet accounts, resolving variances efficiently and enhancing the integrity of financial statements. My experience includes conducting various audits and ensuring compliance with Indian tax regulations, which has significantly minimized potential penalties for clients.

I am passionate about financial analysis and research, having completed projects that include risk-return analysis of mutual funds and business valuations. I enjoy reading fiction novels and exploring nature in my free time, which helps me maintain a balanced perspective in both my personal and professional life.
