At Empire, I joined as a Financial Analyst intern and converted to full-time as the company’s sole finance hire, reporting directly to the founding team. I own end-to-end forecasting and budgeting, improving forecast accuracy by 10% through iterative variance analysis.
I built automated SQL and Python reporting pipelines that cut manual reporting effort by 25%, along with lead-to-revenue dashboards that increased sales pipeline conversion visibility by 30%. Based on the dashboard findings, I recommended shifting spend away from the lowest-converting channel, a decision the founding team adopted the following quarter.
I also built a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast that gave the founding team early runway visibility and was used as an input in a subsequent fundraising conversion. I partner with sales and product leads to align forecast assumptions with pipeline and roadmap data.
At Parle Products Pvt. Ltd., I built an Excel-based expense tracking system that identified and enabled $45K in annual cost savings. I also led spend analytics and vendor negotiations that achieved an 18% year-over-year cost reduction on key supply categories, and standardized reporting templates that cut preparation time by 40%.
